Surviving the Suffering by Dr. Tim Moore
As a practicing cardiovascular surgeon, I have seen firsthand much suffering. The profession that I have chosen means that a few people under my care each year will die. I have seen all of the emotions man can feel under these circumstances, from rage to peace, from fear to calm, from sadness to hope. I have seen optimism cruelly crushed, and unsalvageable situations miraculously changed.
Reading 1632 right now.

Looking at Brighton Rock by Graham Greene. Well, I’m resting my coffee cup on it but I love Greene’s novels.
Finished reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.
Reading Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.
I also need to read more of this:

Well, I am ALWAYS reading the Bible. I have eight bookmarks..The Torah, History, Poetry, Prophets, The Gospels, The Book of Acts, The Letters, and Revelation. I read one chapter from each bookmark every night. Unfortunately, my Torah Bookmark is right now in Numbers, and my History Bookmark is in Chronicles, so it’s a bit of a tough slog. However, “Poetry” is in Proverbs, “Prophets” is in Daniel, and the NT is going very smoothly, as I nearly have it memorized. (LOL!).
Other books get read as well, most recently “The Technologists”, “The Altar of Bones”, “The Hidden Oasis”, “The Assassins Accomplice”, and “A Time For War”.
“The Brief Against Obama” by Hugh Hewitt was interesting, but it was all stuff we have ALREADY discussed on FR! LOL!
Resistance to Tyranny: A Primer
by Joseph P. Martino

Krakatoa, they day the world exploded. About a large volcano explosion in the area of java and how it affected the world.
Currently down to the last 100 pages of Atlas Shrugged. Great book, but Rand is SO wordy. She makes every (good) point about 50 times too many.
Currently also reading The Phantom Tollbooth. Very clever.
Finished the first 2 Bob Lee Swagger novels by Stephen Hunter
I’m currently reading two books:
1. “The Ecclesiastical History of the English People” by the Venerable Bede.
2. “Forging the Shield: U.S. Army in Europe 1951-1962” by Dr. Donald A. Carte. This is the newest volume of the U.S. Army Center of Military History’s U.S. Army in the Cold War series. Its official release date is today. I managed to get an advance copy. It is available for purchase from the Government Printing Office or online at http://www.history.army.mil/bookshelves.html
And no, I am NOT its author.
Unbroken. As a kid Louie Zamperini was flat MEAN!
T R Fehrehnbach’s - Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans
Matthew, Mark, and Luke, with Daniel and Ezekiel. Time to get the Rapture in focus. Christians are soon gonna be outtahere.
I’m looking forward to all the answers but I’d like to ask a question of my own. How many are Kindle users and how many are old fashioned paper-and-fabric book readers? And why?
The kids and I are reading Lord of the Rings out loud (again).
Dear hubby and the kids and I, all together, are reading the entire Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy.
For private reading, I have The Gulag Archipelago that I’m trudging through (it’s verbose, but very interesting.)
“Doc Holliday, The Life and Legend” - Gary L. Roberts, “The Wright Brothers” - David McCullough and “American Wife” - Taya Kyle.
