Of Tesseracts and Dragons...

A Wrinkle in Time = done. Very quickly. I love that book. Would like to post deeper thoughts and a review, but not tonight...

Next up: To Own a Dragon by Donald Miller. I know, I know... I couldn't be farther from the intended audience. It's aimed at men who grew up without fathers... I am a girl blessed with a wonderful dad. But... I loved Blue Like Jazz and wanted to read some of his others, and this one was sitting around at the office. Plus, I was off to help my mom babysit last night, and realized I didn't have a book with me. :)

Which brings me to another good thing about working at a radio station... people are always sending us promo copies of books, so we've worked up quite the library. The majority of it is stuff I wouldn't read, but that's okay... there are a few I plan to hunt down and take home this year.

So far, it doesn't disappoint... I think he could write about a wad of gum and dirt stuck to his shoe and still make it beautiful and interesting...

(Still don't feel like reading Eldest. :))

Quick Post

I'm taking a break from Alagaesia. Because I'm getting nowhere.

Started reading A Wrinkle in Time again. Enchanting. I just love this book... even more the second time around. Everyone who ever felt ugly or stupid or inadequate in any way in life should read it and cheer for Meg, Calvin, and Charles (which is probably... pretty much all of us). And Madeleine L'Engle has such an amazing writing style...

Really need to read Chapter 2 of my theology book. Soon. Oops.
