Reading

I need to work on my Titles.  They're boring.  Sorry about that.

Anyway,
We are still reading Ten P's in a Pod.  I like it.  We laugh at something in the book at least once per reading.  It's interesting to read about a family who lives so differently than we do even though we are both Christian families who homeschool.  Oh, and they were living in the 40's and 50's.  Very interesting.

Now for my book stack.  It's shrinking.  I am trying really hard not to add any books knowing that I will have to report about it each week. 

Here's how it looked last week and my changes for this week:

1. The True and Only Heaven by Christopher Lasch I decided to quit reading this book.
2. The Story of a Soul by Saint Therese de Lisieux
3. Training Children in Godliness by Jacob Abbott
4. The Ancient Historians by Michael Grant
5. The Federalist by Hamilton, Jay and Madison
6. Style by Joseph M. Williams
7. The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris  I finished this one yesterday.
And of course I added another;
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

So that makes for a grand total of 6 books in my stack.  I will admit that I received a review book in the mail on Tuesday but didn't add it yet so I won't have to report it.  It will be on next week's list.  Hopefully, I can finish Outliers and The Story of a Soul by then.  The Federalist has been in my stack for over a year but I am determined to finish it.  I haven't opened The Ancient Historians in months but I'm not going to put it back on the shelf until I read it.  Discipline is difficult to cultivate and the need to never ends.

What are you reading aloud and to yourself this week?  That sounds strange, doesn't it?  But really, we are reading to ourselves.

Go check out Footprints in the Butter and join in the read aloud challenge.
