About my library I started adding my husband's books to my library on here, so if you happen to come across some very strange books - those belong to him. :-)

Good, good. I've gotten that recommendation from a few people now... and come to think of it, maybe it was Mark who recommended them to me first, for now I just remember seeing on your Facebook profile that you're currently reading them, I do believe.

Fiction or non-fiction, it really doesn't matter. Though, come to think of it now, non-fiction might be better, for I spend most of the time in a fictional dreamland where things start with the damsel in distress needing saving by some knight, and then they live happily ever after. I suppose I never thought about escaping from that train of thought for a little while, and now I believe it might be for the better at the moment. ;)
Hey Liz, quick question. I cannot remember if I'd asked if you had any books in mind that I should read, soooo... here's my quick question: do you have any recommendations? :)

Or was it you that mentioned Wizard's First Rule???

Hope you're doing well there in Fort Wayne!

I read Wizard's First Rule and really liked it.

Do try The Odyssey even if you found The Iliad tough going. The Odyssey is much easier to keep up with.
Hi Liz. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Let me take a look at our overlap and come up with some ideas for next purchases. Ok. This is what comes to mind:
Dune by Frank Herbert
The Whimsical Christian by Dorothy L. Sayers
The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis
Let God Be God: An Interpretation of Luther's Theology by Philip Watson
Eats Shoots and Leaves by Lynn Truss
The Humiliation of the Word by Jacques Ellul

Those vary a lot. Dune is good in the way the Space Trilogy and Madeline L'Engle are, though the book is not Christian. I do, however, fantasize that one thing I would do with a Time Machine would be to go back and share the book with C.S. Lewis. Eats Shoots and Leaves is the most entertaining book one writing—on punctuation even!—you will ever find.

It's Christmas list time, so I was looking up my Epic of Gilgamesh to see what I have. I'm going to ask for a nicer one this year.

I see you own The Iliad. Do you have The Odyssey? Mark and I read it together last Christmas. We read Robert Fitzgerald's translation and loved it. (I struggle making it through The Iliad. The Odyssey is smooth sailing, so to speak!
This thing is the bomb... I adore it and its mad crazy bookiness!
