This morning I thought I would give you a reading list.  I like to read.  I read fiction, non-fiction, and religious books.  I enjoyed Harry Potter and the Lemony Snickett series and a few other pre-teen and teen books, but I also read on my level.  Here are ten books (both fiction and non-ficiton) I liked enough to read most of them more than once.

1. The Old Man and the Sea – Earnest Hemingway  – (Classic man against nature)
2. A Farewell to Arms – Earnest Hemingway – (The realities of war on one man)
3. A Painted House – John Grisham – (a departure from the normal Grisham style)
4. To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee – (I really like Jem, Scout, and Atticus Finch)
5. 1776 – David McCullough – (Historical reconstruction)
6. Treasure Island – Robert Louis Stevenson – (Not much better than pirates, treasure, and adventures at sea)
7. Tom Sawyer – Mark Twain – (The copy I first read had an early 1900’s publishing date)
8. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain – (same as above)
9. Greece to 14 A.D. (?? Shuckburg, Putnam Bros. 1906) – (A rare history book)
10. Due South – R. Scott Brunner – (Scott’s dad is a friend of mine.  This book is a collection of humorous stories and anecdotes about being a Southerner.  Scott’s maternal grandparents are members where I preach and recently celebrated their 73 wedding anniversary.)

Grab a book a read.
