Cool! I just finished Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality by Donald Miller. That makes my total 110 now.

... the five stars were rereads, some of them just didn't have the impact on me now that they did when I first read them, like Blue Like Jazz. However, four stars is very good in my rating system and even three isn't bad, so I've actually read a lot of fine books this year.

Early days yet, but so far I've added The Norton Anthology of American Literature, My Name is Asher Lev, and Blue Like Jazz to my stash. Now where can I put a third book case in an 8x10 room?

... with the potential of reading two more before the end if I get off of LT and into my reading chair. Anyway, I finished Blue Like Jazz, liked it a lot, glad I listened to folks who told me I had to read it. Also finished The Ladies of Grace Adieu, loved it, it is a real comfort read. Tonigh ...

... found Jack Miles' God: A Biography to be enlightening. I think once they're a little more on their way Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz can ease them into Mere Christianity. However, I preferred Philip Yancey's What's So Amazing About Grace?. Now, I know that some Christians who are ...

#25 foggi: In unsuggested Blue Like Jazz for me, too, though I've no idea what it's about. I think you're right. You remove library books from your catalog after you've read them (I think?) so it would alter this. What about your account for what you read? :) I only have one LT account ...

... that for me, as well! I was surprised at the number of Christian theology books unsuggested for me . . . including Blue Like Jazz, which I had thought sounds rather interesting. It also unsuggested the HP boxed set, quite correctly, as I have no desire to own paperbacks of HP! ;-) ...

I'm not sure Blue Like Jazz is directly about jumping off the Religious Right bandwagon it is more about jumping of the stereotyped Christian bandwagon (part of which has become the Religious right). I think Christians are realizing socially and practically that they don't have as much in ...

I just got done reading The Time Traveler's Wife, as well as Blue Like Jazz, both of which were just a little light summer reading. ( : Now it's back to work with The Right to Write and The Artist's Way. And Dickens is such a hero of mine. I can honestly say that Pip and Estella forever ...

... the hugely popular writer Don Miller for writing about "the cussing pastor" in one of his books (I believe it was his Blue Like Jazz, which I also recommend). My personal opinion, is that in this particular Don Miller case Miller was more "reporting" and speaking as a memoir, not ...

... She Beautiful conference held there in January. It's The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. I just read Blue Like Jazz. Has anyone picked up Rob's new book Sex God? I, too, have so many books going at once, I've had to stop myself from buying any until I read the ones I ...

I loved Captivating and also Blue Like Jazz. I haven't read anything serious Christian recently, more fiction. I always have too many books I'm reading at once! Currently in the middle of Earl Creps' Off-Road Disciplines, he is a Librarythinger author. When I finish that, I plan on ...

... One book I'd recommend to anyone dealing with head/heart issues and the struggle against self is Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz. It's a memoir, of sorts, but one that manages to be funny, touching, and thought-provoking.

Imaginelove -- I just bought two of Donald Miller's books... Blue Like Jazz and Searching for God Knows What. I'm really looking forward to reading both, as my friend Andy raves about them! :o)

... have been repeats lately, I've been able to pry myself away from the t.v. and get some reading done. I just started Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Anyone even remotely familiar with Mars Hill Bible Church has probably already read this book long ago. I bought it several months ago, ...

I just finished Blue Like Jazz, and now I'm working on getting through Traveling Mercies. Not so sure about it yet, but she writes beautifully and I love that part, at least. :)

Velvet Elvis is my all time favorite non-fiction book, barely edging out Blue Like Jazz. ;) I've talked random people in B&N into buying it...

(And God bless you, sir, for owning not only Blue Like Jazz but Velvet Elvis! May this young lady point out that you ROCK! ;))

Thanks for the heads up on Blue Like Jazz guys. I ordered it having picked up the comments here, and read it in last night. Absolutely great stuff, thanks again. As for the rest of my current reading, I've just started my ordination training, so the list is rather long, but Paul: Fresh Perspec ...

... lot, lately -- see my blog if you want more on that. :o) I just bought Blue Like Jazz and would really like to some day own Searching For God Knows What, too. Currently reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to The Reformation & Protestan ...

I read Blue Like Jazz. I also read a couple of Donald Miller other books, and thought that while Blue Like Jazz was very good, Searching for God Knows What spoke volumes to me. I am currently reading Knowing Scripture by R.C. Sproul and will be starting C. S. Lewis The P ...

I've just finished reading Blue Like Jazz. It is not the longest book ever written but I found it interesting because the author geets away from cliches about the Christian faith and reworks some of the basic themes that we all regard as important so we can look at them in fresh ways.

... I have picked up some great books there. Love in the Time of Cholera Living to Tell the Tale To the Lighthouse Jazz Beloved A Prayer for Owen Meany Paperbacks are .50 cents, and hardcovers are $1.00. I usually swing by once a month to see what's new.
