The Bookshelf

I love reading. I didn’t used to until the summer after my first year of Bible college. College required a lot of reading and I was the photographic memory guy in high school that never read or did homework but still got a B on every test. College was a little tougher and I had to at least skim the books to do well on the test.

The high level of thinking and just plain better books than the junk they throw at you in high school sparked a more refined interest in reading for me.

I have been doing the goodreads.com thing for a while, I am going to try and keep up with it a little more. when ever I need an idea about a book, I cruise Mike’s bookshelf and fill up my ‘to read’ list.

Currently I am reading Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. Yes, it’s a girly book. My wife wanted me to read it…so I am. Although I can’t read it in public because the version I have has a cover that looks like the books with Fabio on the cover in the checkout stand.
