A Literary Series: Finale
Thanks for sticking this one out! I’ve had a ton of fun with this little series. It’s always good to know what you’re blogging about next; sometimes new content can be hard to conjure up. Anywho, this is the finale of the series mainly because I’m going on vacation tomorrow and secondarily because my last … Read more
A Literary Series: Part Five
Is anyone sick of this yet? Does anyone read these? I still have a few more to go, so bear with me. And if it helps, they just get better and better, so keep reading! This is probably one of my favorites (have I said that yet?) out of all of these. Here, our main … Read more
A Literary Series: Part Four
On Deja Vu: We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time – of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances – of our knowing perfectly what … Read more
A Literary Series: Part Three
It was a wonderfully fine thing to have that lofty castle to myself, and to feel, when I shut my outer door, like Robinson Crusoe, when he had got into his fortification, and pulled his ladder up after him. It was a wonderfully fine thing to walk about town with the key of my house … Read more
A Literary Series: Part Two
Thus I began my new life, in a new name, and with everything new about me. Now that the state of doubt was over, I felt, for many days, like one in a dream. I never thought that I had a curious couple of guardians in my aunt and Mr. Dick. I never thought of … Read more
A Literary Series: Part One
[home page photo from wikipedia] Part one of probably a million, so buckle up. I’ve been wanting to share what I’ve been reading for a while. A long while has since elapsed and that was three books ago. Or was it four? Anyway, I just finished reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens (please note: I’m … Read more
African Reading
Yesterday in the mail, I received a book that was on my Amazon wish list. A friend happened upon a copy for free and graciously mailed it to me. I’m pretty confident that I’ll be taking it with me on my trip, but I also wanted to take Things as they Are. I can’t take … Read more
I’m Sorry Tim
Tim, after months of putting the purchase off and then waiting to finish another book, I have finally read your book. I loved it. Thank you for writing it. I’m terribly sorry it took me this long. For the rest of you, I’ve just finished reading The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment, by Tim Challies. If … Read more
Summer Reading
In the midst of my incredibly busy summer, I only finished reading two books. One of them was assigned to me by my discipler, called Love to Eat, Hate to Eat. A lot of the women in my church were informally reading it at the same time, so I joined them. The book is very … Read more
Shakespeare is Everywhere
Most of us learned about Shakespeare in our high school English classes. You may have read through some of his works and maybe even acted them out. My high school English class liked cliff’s notes so we never really read anything cool. Instead, my teacher gave us a list of words he coined. Most people … Read more
