I managed to read 42 books this year. I know to you fanatical readers out there that’s nothing, but I think that must be the largest number of books read in a year for me, since high school.

Actually finished that last one a few days back, and before I start another was catching up on a few articles or papers I had printed out. Some have been sitting on my desk for a year at least.

Like, How Can the Bible Be Authoritative?, by N.T. Wright. I would recommend reading it if you are interested in the Bible and how we should interact with it as a church. Good stuff in there.
