What Book Are You Currently Reading?

[Jaames]

Jaames - question, are you a Christian? Just wondering, because Joel Osteen is a well-known pastor, but he gets some criticism because he goes very mainstream at times and strays from Biblical integrity, hence earns a lot of money out of books like the ones you posted in the initial post. Just a random question.

And I don't read a lot of books as a University student. I read the Bible though.

I am mate. This is the first thing of his I have read so I'm yet to have formed an opinion on him. I have heard about the criticism though. I find most pastors stray far of the biblical road(or just quoting out of context).

Mad me too. Lol well I find the heaviest under criticism in terms of books and publishing are Osteen, Joyce Meyer and T.D. Jakes. They go pretty commercial, and it makes it seem like they are in it more for the $, than to tell people the truth. But let me know what you think of that one when you're done, I've yet to read anything of his.

Not a big reader but I'm slowly getting through Adam Gilchrist: True Colours, a great autobiography but one of the best to ever play the game. Got it for a bargain at Borders' Online Store.

Currently reading "A Dance With Dragons" by George R R Martin. Book 5 in the "Song of Ice and Fire" series.

If anyone here likes fantasy, then do yourself a favour and pick up the first book "Game of Thrones" - the series is outstanding! HBO has just made the first season of "Game of Thrones" and it has just finished airing in the States. It was also BRILLIANT!!!

Now Reading: THE DON - By Roland Perry

I bought a Signed (Signed by Don Bradman and Roland Perry) copy from an Auction House recently and bought another copy just to read

I am only 200 pages in but if you are a cricket lover like me then you will be spellbound by the blow by blow account of Sir Donald Bradman's rise to fame!

 

[Holdendazz]

Crime Fiction novel, love all of Connelly's work, especially his Harry Bosch series.

only problem with koontz is most of his stories are kinda the same. great writer, and i do like his books, but definately follows a template. and always with an awesome dog involved somehow...
currently reading: the joyous cosmology (alan watts).

 

[vc15jrich23]

this is my first dean koontz book, I have been reading stephen king lately and I do not like how king finishes the book (doesn't mean I will stop reading them) so far I like the funhouse, my next one I read by koontz will be "the voice of the night"
