War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells. I also kind of started I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings again by Maya Angelou, but I’ve already read it twice.
 
Like all atheists my good friend, you have a compulsion for control. Give it up to God and reap benefits that you never dreamed of.

Read: “BE A MAN !” by Fr. Larry Richards and prepare to have your mind blown.:amen:

I don’t know why but I really like your signature picture. 😃

Anyways, I am reading “Proof of Heaven” by: Dr. Eben Alexander, M.D.
 
Just finished reading Crime and Punishment minutes ago. I’m thinking of what to read next, like Around the World in 80 Days, Anna Karenina, or Persuasion…

If you read Anna Karenina, I have a helpful suggestion for you. 😃

Skip all the sections about Levin.

Levin was Tolstoy’s alter ego, a kind of autobiographical sketch of his own doubts and thought evolution. Who cares! :mad:

Anna and Levin only met once, I believe, and only for a few minutes. You lose nothing by skipping the Levin stuff.
 
I was reading *Killing Kennedy *by Bill O’Reilly, but I discovered I don’t really like President Kennedy as a person very much and lost interest. 😊 However, I will say that the book has a great style is still a good read for those interested and who may have been young at the time and not known what was going on…Like me. 😉
 
I’ve started reading “Bilbo’s Journey: Discovering the Hidden Meaning in The Hobbit” by Joseph Pearce. I’m a few chapters in, and it’s really good, an interesting analysis of Tolkien’s classic book. Just in time for the new movie, which I thought was great.
 
Often have more than one book on the go at a time. At the moment:

Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives - Pope Benedict XVI
Centurion’s Daughter - Justin Swanton
Killing for Profit: Exposing the Illegal Rhino Horn Trade - Julian Rademeyer (the style of this makes for difficult reading, the issue is serious - Lawrence Anthony’s “The Last Rhinos” was much more readable)

Interesting, Irishmom, I keep almost ordering this book, because I was “young at the time and not known what was going on”, I guess I still will read it one day.

I know when I read Nelson Mandela’s autobiography many events from my childhood made sense, or had a very different shape.
 
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It’s interesting so far, but not a page turner.
New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton. Read the original edition, am enjoying the expanded and new chapters in this edition.
I’ve been reading them both for a while. School has made it difficult to get through them. 😃
