    1) Mike Yaconelli - Dangerous Wonder. He lead me back to a healthier view on faith.

    2) Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird. Though I know what will happen I can’t put the book down.

    3) My Bible, duh.

    4) David Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One Day.

    5) Akira Yoshimura - On Parole. I have never cheered for a hero more in my life only to be let down.

    6) Good question, I can’t think of one.

    7) I felt the same way after reading a book on the Ressurrection by John Shelby Spong. He denies the ressurection ever happened. I wasn’t in a good place at that time and could have probably ruined my faith more than it did.

    8) I just finnished reading an essay by Borges “A Poet’s Creed” and a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. I am debating on waht to read next.

    9)James Joyce’s Ulysses - Actually, I have tried reading it on four occassions. Each time I get a little further in. It’s rather daunting.

    Oooh, Spong and Borg should both be banned from writing as far as I’m concerned!
