Then I will finish rereading The Making and Unmaking of Technological Society: How Christianity Can Save Modernity From Itself (highly recommend) and Crazy Busy. Plus Greek textbooks, which is fun to add in the mix-especially if you want to take learning it seriously, haha!

Last year, in observance of Black History Month, I read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Man-Walking-Eggshells-School-Books/dp/0393316181" rel="nofollow">Man Walking on Egg Shells</a>. Also good. In terms of non-Christian non-fiction. I've been wanting to get a hold of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Long-Way-Gone-Memoirs-Soldier/dp/0374105235" rel="nofollow">A Long Way Gone</a> for some time now. And walking the fine line between fiction and non-fiction is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Vintage-Dave-Eggers/dp/0307385906/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202326523&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">What is the What</a>.

I would really like to read some fiction. I miss fiction and the art of story-telling. Any suggestions? I'd also like to read some non fiction books that are not Christian that regular people are talking about or being influenced by. Thanks for the help!
