catching up on the past few weeks…

“I was Saved by the Bell” – good read – anything about one of my childhood sitcoms is bound to be good – and it wasn’t a tell-all like some of those types of books read – the producer of Bell has lived a really full life – from JFK work to working for Pat Robeson in Virginia – so from liberal to conservative – parts of the book read almost like Forrest Gump – the guy was around a lot of history – very enjoyable read

“How to be Right” – math book – complex at times – okay, most all the time – but it was good with establishing how unproven a lot of our ideas are – and how the world would be a better place if more people took math and numbers seriously – i tried to use the book to make a point in my Bible study group last week – bad idea… 🙂

“Accidental Feminist” – the title was a misnomer – disappointing book – it was traditional theory – no new surprises – although, it’s always fun to read a book that’s not for you – like lots of times the author talked about “girl time” – i felt like I was eaves-dropping – but nothing remotely feminist about the book – and I don’t think I can look at adult women the same for a while after the author said that every woman secretly wants to be led by a man (glad they all know where they’re going…)

“ghost” – from the dave and jorja library – awesome book – i have had three of you read it already – will get you in the mood for the PE half-mile – i could see why it was recommended as a national honor book

“Shaken” – tim tebow’s new book – great book – good stories – i’ve even tried to get my dad to read it – i’ve ordered it for the classroom – basically, the book picks up after tebow leaves the NFL – it’s less about him and more about our faith walks – good read
