Calling All Readers...

I've been doing a lot of reading this week. I'm trying to finish off some of the many books that I read approximately half of before purchasing something new and getting engrossed in the new work at the expense of the old.

I polished off Rob Bell's "Velvet Elvis" yesterday. I do recommend this one. I'll probably write a bit more extensively about it another time. Good read though, and some challenging things to think about.

I spend way too much money on books to not actually finish reading them. Plus, one of my goals for this year was to broaden my reading, to actually finish books off, and to challenge my abilities to think - basically to not just read "fluff" all the time.

I'm working on a list of the books I need to polish off before I buy too many more. The trouble is that I'm a sucker for a deal, and I basically can't walk into a bookstore without making a purchase. The books just call my name.

Anyway... in the spirit of expanding my mind through reading, I have some questions for my faithful blog readers:
  1. What is the one book you would recommend that others read, and why?
  2. What is the best novel you have ever read?
  3. If you could pick any book to curl up and spend a day with, what would it be, and why?

My answers to come... (along with the list of books that I need to finish reading!)
