After two years of failing my category challenge, this year I am determined to succeed. How do I know I will? Well, I am graduating from university come June, so I will finally have time for fun reading. Yay.
As for me: I am a double major in religious studies and classics. I'm very passionate about interreligious dialogue and how Christians can approach religions in different ways. Religious pluralism is and will be one of the greatest challenges to Christians in the 21st century, and we need thinkers and activists to make sense of it.
I am also a bit of a linguaphile, though mostly with ancient languages. My major languages are ancient Greek and biblical Hebrew. I blog on this interest at jdhomie.com.

Welcome back and good luck with your last few months at university! Good idea to include a category for the leftovers from previous challenges.

Don't stress too much about finishing your old challenges or you might disappoint yourself. Just fix your new challenges so that those books will fit this year! Congrats on finishing at your university.

Thanks everyone! Currently reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X and it is very interesting. Not sure I'd want to sit down for coffee with the man, but he did lead one interesting life.
