This post was inspired by Jason at Theospora, who asked me to participate in the ‘what I’m reading quiz.’ I put that post off, mainly because I think what I’m reading would likely bore many of you to tears. I’ll answer a few of those questions now.

  • Okay, first question, how many books have I owned lifetime…I dunno. No clue. 400 maybe.
  • Second question, last book I bought, a textbook, actually. Advanced Social Science Statistical Methods…so now do you see why I say that what i’m reading is boring.
  • Third question, last book I completed, honestly, I can’t remember. I have a nasty habit of becoming bored with books once I kinda get the drift of where they’re going. Perhaps I should be challenging myself a bit more with my picks. (I read 4 Dan Brown novels this summer and they kept me guessing enough to keep me entertained from cover to cover.)
  • Fourth question, five books that mean a lot to me: Everyday Apocalypse (David Dark), The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions (Marcus Borg & NT Wright), The Persuasion Handbook (James P. Dillard & Michael Pfau), The Chronicles of Narnia–yes I know it’s more than one book (C.S. Lewis), The Fellowship of the Rings trilogy (J.R.R. Tolkien).
  • Fifth question, what am I reading. Well, currently, I’m reading that stats book, a leadership and group communication book (for which I’m TAing the class), and Subversive Orthodoxy by Robert Inchausti.
