Books I Completed 2007

Mike Devries had a post not to long ago about books that he had read this year. I thought putting out a list would be a good idea, but my list looks small. Unfortunately, I have started a lot of books I have not finished this year.

I suppose that is ok, I worked hard, dealth with a church split, fell in love and got married. Those are all good things, and big priorities. But perhaps I need to be a little more disciplined this year in my study and finshing what I start.

Still looks like a pretty hefty list to me! Do you ever read any novels or fiction? Just curious. I read about one non-fiction to about 4 fiction...can't overload my little brain after all!

I forgot the one fiction book I remembered reading.

Thanks.
