Reading List

Update, Aug. 2018: My current to-read list, books read, and library can be found on my profile at LibraryThing. It’s a lot more convenient to update my books read and owned there, rather than here. At this time I’ve read almost 20 books in 2018, so you can see that this page would get rather long at this pace.

A list of books I have read since the creation of this blog:

  • Outrage : The Five Reasons Why O. J. Simpson Got Away with Murder – Vincent Bugliosi [Read 10/16]
  • The Color of Magic – Terry Pratchett [Read 4/17]
  • Witsec : Inside the Federal Witness Protection Program – Pete Earley [Read 6/17]
  • The Drama of Scripture: Finding our Place in the Biblical Story – Craig C. Bartholomew and Michael W. Goheen [Read 6/17]

A list of books I am in the process of reading, a process that is often interrupted by the discovery of more books:
