About Me
The 17did Read Your Name Challenge
Ms. Bookish hosts the Read Your Name Challenge at her blog and I thought, "hey, that's a great idea!" Any excuse to read, right? But as I began my list, using the name of my blog, I thought I'd try another twist: read my blog's name but only using favorite titles in the list. As I find new favorites, the list can be altered accordingly. So, here I am, working on that:
- 1 Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 1) - Frank Herbert
- 7 The Seven-Per-Cent Solution - Nicholas Meyer
- D Desiring God - John Piper
- A A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
- Y A Year with C. S. Lewis - C. S. Lewis
- S Shane - Jack Schaefer
- I Ishmael - Barbara Hambly
- N No Country for Old Men - Cormac McCarthy
- D Dandelion Wine - Ray Bradbury
- E Eleven Days - Donald Harstad
- C Champagne for One - Rex Stout
- E Epistle to the Hebrews: From Ritual to Reality - William MacDonald
- M The Martian Chronicles - Ray Bradbury
- B The Big Thaw - Donald Harstad
- E Eeny Meeny Murder Mo - Rex Stout
- R Right Ho, Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse
On books by A. E. Newton
"Even when reading is impossible, the presence of books acquired produces such an ecstasy that the buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching towards infinity.
