VT Christian Reading Challenge discussion

How’s summer going? We just got back from camping and haven’t gotten much reading in! Anyone have anything good set up for June?

Man, work has been keeping me worn out.

I have a couple interesting things coming up.
1. Siddhartha by Herman Hesse as a Book my brother said changed his life.
2. I am going to be borrowing a seminary textbook from a seminary student at my church. I hope to read an intro to hebrews text book.
3. I am wrapping up Calvin's Commentary on Joshua.
4. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is my Pulitzer Prize winner.

I am current at 58 of the 104. So on track but with a couple tough topics to find books for.

Did you find Siddhartha as inspiring? I keep looking through the Pulitzer Prize winners and having trouble making a decision! I’m still slinking my way through Sense and Sensibility, but I like to listen aloud and we’ve had a whole houseful! I am thinking of going through The Body Keeps Score since I received yet another recommendation. Then I’ll work on finishing my others in progress.

Congrats, by the way, on 58 books! That’s really inspiring.

Yes, great work Ian!

I'm finishing up my last assignment for the summer semester so my focus hasn't been on the challenge as much. I started The Collected Poems of C. S. Lewis: A Critical Edition but poetry isn't my favourite, so it's a slow go.

The Body Keeps Score is really good if you have time and interest.

I finished The Outsiders. I am sloooowly working through Classical Music 101, I'll also be reading The Coddling of the American Mind, The Gospel Comes with a House Key, and The Color of Compromise this month.
