What I am reading right now

[FaithMarie]

Right now I am reading "The God Chasers" by Tommy Tenney, it is a great book, and I can't wait to get to the second book of the series.

[JudgeNot]

Right NOW?  Gee – I get bored too easily – I’ve got a bunch of books going:
“Classic Christianity” by Bob George
“The Case for Christ” by Lee Strobel
“Odd Thomas” by Dean Koontz
“The Teeth of the Tiger” by Tom Clancy
“Isaiah” by God  
“The Book of John” by John  

I recommend all except the Clancy novel – it’s too ‘trashy’.  

I’m almost done with “Odd Thomas” – it’s a really fun book.  Dean Koontz is getting spiritual in his old age.  I’ve read everything he has written, and have noticed he is referring to God more in each successive book.  Compared to most “secular” novelists, he has almost no sex or bad language.  He has always had a Good vs. Evil theme in all his writings, and Good always wins.  Hooray!

“The God Chasers” – I’ll start watching for it (them) – I’ll be out of something to read in about 4 more days.

"Princess Bride" by William Goldman (Just got today)

Read it first, and tell me what you think. Then I'll see if you got fooled or not.

I found it laying around at the local used book store. It is a good Movie, so I figured, what the hey, I'll only be up 2 bucks if I don't like it, and I can jut pass it off to a friend as a gift later

Ha-ha Tibby - "The Frugal Book Buyer"

Maybe you should write a book.  

[Tibby]

Haha, nah, it is just a cool place to hang out. Shelves of books, more then anyone ever has time to look thru, and a bunch of used records, too.

Besides, my friends arn't good enough to get new gifts

"Princess Bride" by William Goldman (Just got today)

Read it first, and tell me what you think. Then I'll see if you got fooled or not.  

Its not by Morgenstern (sp?) and there is no sequel called "Buttercup's Baby". And if you got the version that has the looooong introduction talking about Mr. Goldman's fat son etc., and how Goldman's father read him the "classic tale of love and high adventure" in poor English, its fake too.   It was all written recently by William Goldman, and a lot of folks in the literary world think it is an abridgement of an old classic by Morganstern, originally composed in a remote area in a foreign country. Goldman assures us that you can still visit the places where the story happens (and I believed it, though reluctantly!  ), such as the wild swamps of the undead, with talcum-powder quicksand...hey, its a foreign country, so maybe things are stranger there than here.

Goldman uses his Morgenstern penname in another book as well, "The Silent Gondolier".

It was a lot of fun, being fooled for a while; I was frustrated when I found out the truth, but then I laughed, 'cause it is kinda funny.

Luckily, there are lots of Blondes in the world, so folks like Goldman will always have someone to prey on.  

[Tibby]

Yeah, his intro was telling this story about how he found it. It is called "The Good parts version"

Also, Goldman claims "The Princess Bride" is based on a true story.   That's why I believed all the stuff about tourists being able to visit locations mentioned in the book.

[Tibby]

Yeah, I started to wonder then he said his father was from Florn...

I am reading "Love on the Dole" by Walter Greenwood.  It is a bird's eye view of life in the '30's.  If you think you are badly off now, read this and think you are a king.  LOL
