Proclaiming and Preparing: December 2008

Books I'm Reading

People frequently ask me what I'm reading. The following list contains a few of the books that I'm currently reading or have just recently completed. Some items have a link to some of my further thoughts on the book.

The inclusion of a book doesn't mean I'm endorsing it or even recommending that you read it. It just means that it's one of those books taking up real estate on the desk or the bedstand.
