“What books are you currently reading?”
Hebrews and James. ;o)
Ameritopia by Mark Levin - a must read if you want to understand the philosophical underpinnings of statism, as compared with individual freedom. Excellent for right now!!!

Just finished King Rat by James Clavell. It’s an old book, but I highly recommend it. Just started The Kite Runner, so far very good.
Will be finished with The Last Days of Socrates in a couple days. Then I will read Codeword Barbelon.
After watching BOR tonight, no Ann Coulter books for me!
I’ve been on the first chapter of “The girl with the dragon tattoo” for over a month now.
Forrest McDonald, Novus Ordo Seclorum The Intellectual Origins of the Constitution.
I just read The Hunger Games Trilogy. Not profound, not even great, but I thoroughly enjoyed the dystopian fiction. Fun!
I am reading “The Great Chief Justice: John Marshall and the Rule of Law” right now, and it isn’t as fun as the above, but it is interesting.
I have to intersperse the books I read-—light/heavy etc. Otherwise, I would not be the cheerful optimist and fun person that I am ; ) ....
“The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien.
I don't recommend this book over other histories of the period. It was published in 1837, so the style and language can be difficult to comprehend. I read it because it was already in my library.
Pastor asked us all to re-read Psalms.
I kinda like Sam though Proverbs works.
I am reading John Grisham’s The Litigators. Of course it is good. He is the best author in America, probably the best in American history.
The Hunger Games, Seal Team Six - Memoirs of an Elite Navy Seal Sniper, Alas Babylon (for the jillionth time :), One Second After, The Old Man and the Harley.
My Bible (One year Bible reading plan)
The Food and Cooking of Eastern Europe,
Wonderful Blood (Carolyn Walker Bynum)
and Beyond Sacred Violence: A comparative study of Sacrifice (Kathryn McClymond).
Caesar and Christ, by Will Durant
Treason, by Orson Scott Card
I’m writing one.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks....
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions.
Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave
