pleasure reading

So it turns out that I actually do enjoy reading books. Sometimes I forget that I enjoy this aspect of life - often it's forgotten during school. I know that every summer break in college I would just dig into the pleasure reading out there. You know what I'm talking about, the really crappy stuff out there.

Well, I don't get a break really ever. I mean, a week here and there gives me enough motivation to purchase books, but never to finish them. I have a compulsion to be with people, to a fault sometimes.

So in the past 18 hours, I've slept 12 of them (yay!) and read 3 of them. That's a beautiful thing.

Good books on the docket for now:
- I'm eating up Brennan Manning again. This time it's The Wisdom of Tenderness.
- Dorothy Sayer's Letters to a Diminished Church
- Merold Westphal's Overcoming Ontotheology: Toward a Postmodern Christian Faith

Ok, I'll admit it now. The third book is not a pleasure read, it's certainly a class read. The first two will be done before I tackle that one. But I have assigned chapters due in a month!

Off to beach and friends... I love "breaks."
