Interesting note about Malcolm Gladwell. I’ll watch for that in this book. I often think books should be cut in half; sometimes you get the feeling that authors have to continue to write long after the material has run out, just to fill up pages.

I know; I need to read more books that make me laugh as much as this Tim Hawkins’ book. He’s a funny man.

Let me know what you think of those if you do get around to reading them. If you’re like me, your reading list far exceeds the amount of time you actually have left in your life to read them. 🙂

What kind of a title is that? One that grabs our attention. ha. So of course I’m having to get the Kindle sample right now. Thanks, Floyd. 🙂

Being picky is a good thing; be thankful for it. I struggle with not being picky enough. It usually takes a lot for me to finally decide to put down a book that is a waste of time.

I love doing that too, Jennifer! Sometimes I feel nosy. 🙂 But I’m always so interested in what books people pick up, or what books are on their bookshelves in their homes.

No, I have never read “Black like Me” but it’s time I did. I’ll add it to my list. Thanks!

Yes, Melody, if you attend a lot of funerals, this book would probably be of interest to you on several levels (but not all). There were paragraphs occasionally about things I did NOT want to know. ha.

I’m not sure what initially attracted me to a book about the death industry. ha. But it was a fascinating read. And a library book, so nothing lost even if it hadn’t been good.

I got the Jerry Bridges’ book free on my Kindle awhile back; just now got around to reading it this month. I do love free books most of all. 🙂 My library stocks very little of his stuff too, unfortunately. I still haven’t read his Respectable Sins and I do want to.

I think you’d like Tim Hawkin’s book. I love clean comedy. Some of the material in the book has been familiar–I’ve either seen it on YouTube videos or live–but lots of it is new to me. But even the repeat stuff is funny. I need books like this to balance me back out from the heavier stuff. ha.

Anna Karenina seems like it’s taking forever. I probably need to stop going to the library for a few weeks and just concentrate on it for awhile so I can feel better about my progress. 🙂 It is an enjoyable story.

I’m about 70 pages into Faithiest now, and he’s really laying it all bare about his journey. Already lots of twists and turns, and he’s still a teenager at this point in the story.

I enjoy your posts, your tastes seem to agree with mine so I like seeing what your reading, but my to-read list is growing faster than I can read. 🙂
