  • Your reading list looks superb! Do you own the book about U.S. spies during WWII? If so, I'd love to borrow it sometime. Dad will enjoy the fact that books about Churchill comprise a significant portion of your present reading material. Are you as much of a Churchill "fan" as he is?

  • If only he actually read them...

  • Home Making?? This is not one I would see on the average guy's reading list.

    The Story of the Irish Race... now that sounds like a good book.

    The only one I've actually read is Les Miserables. It's one of my favorites.

    And just as a side question, why do people remain anonymous? Granted, the web was designed for anonymity, but I'd love to know whose comments I'm always reading. Is it Tim himself, disguised as an innocent bystander? The world may never know.

  • I do not think that it is Tim.

    To stay anonymous is evidence of the dominant ethical position of the West.

    Gary North says: "the critics prefer to remain anonymous".

  • go caleb! looks like you are staying busy. Is the book "Home Making" available through Vision Forum? I've heard a lot of good things about it, and would like to read it this year.
    (in my "spare time", of course. :)
    And I have to agree with leslie. I love "Les Miserables". That's definately on my have to re-read list!

  • Yes, Jen. You can purchase Home-Making from Vision Forum. That's why I have it listed as a link. :>)

  • ooops...
    ummm, hey, Tim...... In my major brain kerplunk this morning I forgot whose hospitality I was enjoying, and called you caleb. I beg 10,000 humble pardons.....but I have a really good excuse!!! I was helping my one of my little sisters with her grammer, and I don't do multi-tasking lke that very well. I hope that you'll forgive me. If you sue me, please sue for baked goods, as my bank account is rather low. :) I've heard that my cookies are pretty good with a glass of milk....

  • Jen,

    After serious consideration and analysis, your cookies and a glass of milk have been deemed a just compensation for this morning's error.

    Regards,

    Tim

  • No one should be surprised that Tim is reading Homemaking. If you’ve ever read the book, you’ll know that it isn’t just a book for ladies. It is really a book about cultural dominion as it relates to the household and family. It is a book that every man and woman should read. And it was written for fathers, not ladies. The title is deceiving though.

  • I think that your book list is awesome! It is amazing that you can read so many at a time. I agree with anonymous that Homemaking is not just a lady's book. My mom read it to all nine of us children. I thought that it was thoroughly enlightening and beautifully written. We would like book reviews on others you've finished.

  • Tim,
    I'll ship the cookies in Nathan's next box, but you'll have to provide the milk. I refuse to ship that!

    With Gratitude,
    Jen

  • A Pucek: The truth of the matter is that I have been very lazy about finishing books, and very undisciplined in my reading by starting so many titles before completing others. My present object is to finish most of my current reading list before commencing upon new books. We'll see. . .

    Jen: Sounds like a fair arrangement to me!

  • Tim, that's great that you are reading in such high volume a tremendous line-up of books. Keep up the scholarship.

    Also, Peter, I cannot help but comment on your comment about the "dominant ethical position of the West." All I can really say is this: "Interesting point."

    Your compatriot,
    CS
