My book list is getting insanely long!!! Where did this all come from??? I hated reading when I was younger! It was definitely not something I did just for fun. For me fun was being in the gym with basketball in my hand! I was never into reading fictional books or really anything. I have always loved History, especially U.S. History. From time to time, you might have found me with a book about some one who had played apart in that. Seriously, that was more likely due to the fact that I had some sort of research paper to do. I didn't know anything about The Chronicles of Narnia, until they came out as movies. I still haven't seen or read the books. I have never read a Harry Potter book, or any other famous books from my childhood. None of that stuff interested me. Probably, the first book I read outside of having to do some report was in college. I read Pat Summit's book, Reach for the Summit. She is the head woman's basketball coach at the University of Tennessee. I really enjoyed that book, honestly reading wasn't on my lists of that was enjoyable to do! Now, as I am getting older I LOVE it!!! I would love to just curl up all day long and read a book with a cup of coffee by my side. I can't believe I even just typed that! I never would have thought those words would come out of my mouth! I am glad that I have found this new love for reading, I am still pretty limited in what I like to read, but there are so many books out there to read in my 2 categories I can't imagine throwing anything else in the mix!
My 2 categories for my book list are Christian and Politics. I have already read some excellent books in both categories and look forward to reading more. My favorite author in Christian books is Max Lucado! Outstanding writer, truly gifted by God! Here is my list!!!
Christian:
Fearless: Max Lucado
Any book of Max Lucado that I haven't had a chance to read
Family Driven Faith: Voddie Baucham
The Pursuit of God: A.W. Tozer
One Thing: Chuck & Pam Pierce
Politics:
Arguing with Idiots: Glenn Beck
5,000 Year Leap: W. Cleon Skousen
Liberal Fascism: Jonah Goldburg
Culture of Corruption: Michelle Malkin
Each time I get on Amazon.com or Christianbook.com I see more that I can add to the list! Maybe for my birthday and Christmas I can hand out my list so I can receive enough books to last me for the year!!! If you have any books you think I should add to my list please let me know!!!

Oh Dana, you are too funny! I was five years old when I read the Chronicles of Narnia, and I used to get in BIG trouble when my mom would wake up at 4am to go milk cows and catch me reading in my room.... I was so into my book I hadn't put it down! One of these days I'll get back to one of my favorite past times... thanks for the reminder that it still exists!
Tanya, I remember sitting in your floor the night the guys went to a football game. All of you girls were talking about the Chronicles of Narnia, I honestly had no clue they existed and was totally amazed that you all had read these stories as wee little ones!!! I still haven't read any of the books, maybe one day I will branch out to them, but with my new found love of reading there are just too many in the topic areas I like to sit them aside and try something else!!! HA! Maybe once Jaycee starts reading we can read the Chronicles of Narnia together!!!
