| I'm finishing up Bruce Feiler's Where God Was Born -- an easy read and enjoyable. Next I'll start reading Hunger and Happiness by L. Shannon Jung.
I'm also hoping to find a copy of The Law of Nines the new book by Terry Goodkind. I really like his stuff. |

All By Ayn Rand. I haven't read anything buy Rand in quite some time, but I did enjoy Anthem, which I read because of the song of the same name by Rush. I have always wanted to read Fountainhead, however. Maybe I should pick that up sometime. |

Good book. I think "A Brave New World" was far more prophetic. |

I had to do a paper on that book. I want to read The Abolition of Man after I am done with all the Rand books. I am also a huge Dostoyevsky fan. He foresaw the coming of communism, and it gives me chills when I think about it. Crime and Punishment is a must for every Christian because it touches on themes of redemption in such a beautiful and yet harrowing manner. |

| I just started "Jesus Matters," and am finding it to be good reading. I also finished "Within the Ancient Forest" a few days ago (a very fast read), and I was impressed. |
