12 Month Tentative Reading List
June 2005 - May 2006
The following list is my tentative reading list for this year as you can see by the * I have all ready read a couple of books. Each of them were fascinating in their own ways and I hope to journal about them here soon as well as other books. But if this year is like last I may not have entries for every book I read, but feel free to leave your comments about each book as you feel lead.
Pease feel free to recommend books for me to read as Fujiboots does. If the synopsys you give my sounds interesting enough I may end up reading it before one on this list.
As you examine my list the majority of my books are listed by month, but I do have a Whenever category that I have placed a few books in. It is these books that I will read throughout the year as part of my ABF class or as I desire too.
If you desire to read about or buy any of these books just click on the book title and it will take you to Amazon's page for this book.

Nice site, Wes! I'll be sure to pass any books along that have been meaningful to me - I am almost through with a fascinating book about the Church called "An Unstoppable Force" by Erwin McManus. It's a great book about the purpose of the church and the role of godly leaders, too - and you HAVE to read the Silmarillion - I found it interesting that Tolkien wrote LOTR so that he could more fully develop characters established in that work. It seems that the LOTR paid the bills so that he could pursue his true love - the legends and stories of the Elder days. Fascinating stuff... Take it easy, brother!

Yes, sir. I'll be there.

interesting list of material Wes, keep up the reading, although I know how life can pull you out of the reading chair. Enjoy
