I spent a good deal of time reading at Barnes & Nobel today. I love to read. I am constantly consuming a good book, a blog, or reading articles online that sound interesting to me. Sometimes I go through seasons where I don’t read as much, but that’s usually before or after a big reading binge. I’m the guy that enjoys reading his cereal box in the morning. And I totally loved Book-It from Pizza Hut as a kid! (Can we get that for adults)? I just love to read.
So what am I currently reading now?
“How We Decide” by Jonah Lehrer.
(This book is written by a neuroscientist who has studied how the human mind makes decisions. It has been very accessible and fascinating so far. I’ll probably blog about this one sometime down the road.)
“Christ in Church Leadership” by Paul Winslow and Dorman Followwill.
(The title of this book isn’t very catchy, but it has some great practical stuff about leadership.)
Books I would like to read/curious about:
“Crazy Love” by Francis Chan.
“Sticky Church” by Larry Osborne.
“The Chamber” by John Grisham.
“The Year of Living Biblically” by A.J. Jacobs.
What about you? What’s on your reading list? Recommend anything?

I read the chamber around a year or two ago. That’s my first and only John Grisham to date. But the book really stole my heart. From characterization to plot to etching out the law and crime scenario to utter perfection, Grisham does everything right. The book had me nearly in tears at it’s poignant ending. It’s a brilliant book, I’m sure you’ll love it.
There’s a movie based on it too.
It’s all right. But I wouldn’t recommend the movie when you’ve got a book, and that too by a master like Grisham. Happy reading!

Oh man, we are reading a lot right now…
-Christ of the Indian Road by E. Stanley Jones (even if you aren’t going to India, it’s beautiful)
-The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman (A good perspective in a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected. It came highly recommended to us and I pass it along as the same!)

I love John Grisham’s stuff. I would like to see the movie…but I always like to read the book first.
Ooo…I have heard of Thomas Friedman…he just wrote a book called, “Hot, flat and crowded” or something like that. I think it may be kind of like a sequal to the book you are talking about.

I’m reading “The Secret Life of Bees” which was given to me by a friend for Christmas. So far, so good. Fiction set in the South in the civil rights era.
