Your brother recommended Mountains Beyond Mountains, and I definitely second that. The project I work with is largely based off of that work and philosophy in Haite. One novel to add to your list--Peace Like a River. And a book I read a few years back that was thought provoking was Death Be Not Proud. <br />Happy reading, friend!Sara Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769454409178381622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168744.post-35586617791460467382007-01-07T20:12:00.000-06:002007-01-07T20:12:00.000-06:00We've all enjoyed reading over your list.

I think I liked it better than he did. It made me chuckle. Also, we recently watched the BBC version of "Wives & Daughters" by Elizabeth Gaskell (sp?). I had never heard of her before but we really enjoyed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168744.post-4555574587243465532007-01-07T15:16:00.000-06:002007-01-07T15:16:00.000-06:00Wow. that's an impressive many. i read alot of mag...Wow. that's an impressive many. i read alot of magazine article in 2006 and alot of newspaper. Oh, and a C.S. Lewis one, "The Problem of Pain".

Very good. <br />The Spirit of the Disciplines (Dallas Willard)<br />And today, I just finished Mountains Beyond Mountains about an American doctor, Paul Farmer, who revolutionized international health care in the last few years. It's written by Tracy Kidder, and it's a capturing read. I recommend it.<br /><br />2007, hopefully I'll read more.Wendellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991329018604723103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168744.post-91368203692317211542007-01-04T20:44:00.000-06:002007-01-04T20:44:00.000-06:00I truly adored the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency st...I truly adored the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency stories! You should read the rest of the series (although, I do not recommend McCall Smith's book of short stories--racy). The "Miss Julia" books by Ann B Ross are very fun. For gothic romance remniscent of Jane Eyre and Northanger Abbey (though not as funny) try Victoria Holt's novels. For food, read "The Joy." I can't remember what all I read this year, but you've inspired me--this will be a challenge as I don't read as much as I would like anymore. Tuan and I did hit all the used bookstores while we were at my parents, so we do have a good stack waiting right now . . . .Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141920230942258960noreply@blogger.com
