What You're Reading

Lord Perfect by Loretta Chase-Tammy (Hamilton)
I had a hard time warming up to this book-the first 25 pages or so really seemed to drag by. But it did pick up pace, and became an enjoyable read. The conversations seemed a bit stilted, but I still enjoyed the end result and would recommend the book.

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls-Michelle (Hamilton)
Truly an inspirational story. Although her upbringing was full of hardships it goes to show that there is beauty in everything and everyone. It's merely a matter of perspective.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis - Suzanne (Downtown)
One of the best books I have read on what being a Christian is all about. Very well written.
The Measure of a Man by Sidney Poitier - Jennifer (Downtown)
He has several unique, enlightening concepts which he illustrated well with his own personal experiences. The one that really caught my attention was the reason for and method of revisiting your failures - very thought-provoking.
In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan - Karen (Downtown)
This book gives a very interesting background on the science of nutrition and good nutrition advice overall. I think all Americans should read this!
Color Zoo by Lois Ehlert-Mai (Hamilton)
My three-year-old son really likes the different colors and shapes that are used in this book to describe the various animals.
He learned the basic shapes and colors by re-reading this book.
