Now now son, you are doing quite well! I remember the good old days when my LibraryThing account totaled 1500! I better get index some more books, I'm concerned you may catch up by, oh, 2012.

Have you ever considered tagging what you read? (or maybe you rate everything you read?) Just wondering. I used to use "tags", but now I use the "Collections" feature for it. Collections are better. Because, let's say I want to see all Wodehouse books I've read, all I gotta do then is go to search by Wodehouse and then flip the correct collection away from "Your Library" to "Read" and BINGO, I can see how many Wodehouse books I've read.

Who are you shooting on your picture there? Did you hit the target?
Just want to say thanks for showing me this site, i am loving it so far. If am behind in my readings know that it is your fault. I just can't stop entering books!

Looks like you got some good stuff! I take it you got them at the book sale, and Keith went with you?

I've got some interesting looking stuff that should be in this month or next. One of them is a book by Ron Paul on foreign policy and I'll be getting a couple books from Douglas Wilson that I've been wanting to read.

Oh, and we now share 20 books.

God bless..

Ian, good to connect again. BTW, I read your article in EB a while back. Good job.

Hey Ian. Just started using librarything.com. I see we have 4 books in common. A good mix, from Rutherford to Marx :)

Yes, I must admit, it is terrific (and incredibly humbling) being around those two. I think the best part of it is sitting in their classes during the week, then hearing them preach at First Pres on Sundays. We are truly blessed to have them around. I've been meaning to pick up that Haykin book, but you know how seminary drains the wallet...

Thought that I would pass this on to you. If you don't have plans for Spring Break, Paul Helm is coming here to do a class/seminar that week on predestination. You're more than welcome to crash at our place. Just a thought.

Grace and peace.

As you likely noticed, I try to stay away from heavy topics on my blog. I've found that when I get into controversial waters, the result is a debate via blog, and such debates I prefer to avoid. I do check your blog often, and very much enjoy it. I also enjoy reading another TBS blog, that of the esteemed Michael Haykin.

As far as the Van Til issue goes, I am heavily influenced by several men here at RTS. On one hand, there is Derek Thomas, Ligon Duncan, and Duncan Rankin. These men would consider themselves presuppositionalism-friendly common sense realists (if that is possible). On the other hand, there is Andrew Hoffecker, my advisor and church history prof. He's quite the Van Tillian, and he has heavily influenced me as well. I guess this is all to say that I have not yet landed. But your words are encouraging. I hope to return to Van Til sometime soon, particularly because a better understanding of him and others (Rushdoony, Bahnsen, etc.) will significantly help me to communicate charitably with my FV and theonomist friends.

Take care and have an extraordinary Thanksgiving!

How did you manage to marry a lovely Welsh girl. I am also married to one, but I found her in Wales.

Great library. Very similar to mine. You and I actually have more books in common than librarything says we do.
