Going through what is the most laborious and frustrating book of the Potter saga. We'll see if I like it better this time around.

Getting very exciting now as the mystery winds down.

Beautiful, profound devotional reading.

Got this for the drive home from IA. Complex mystery w/ a lot of moving parts. Also very graphic.

Proust is the consummate author of long-windedness and emotion. Neither of those traits endears him to me. We'll see how this ends.

It's tough to enjoy the book when Harry and Ron are fighting.

I'm settling into the style of Proust. If you're looking for plot, this is not your novel.

Lewis always amazes me with his depth of insight and ability to think through complexities with clarity.

And so I begin my odyssey through one of the 20th century's greatest authors. The prose is incandescent.

Winner's thoughts on carrying certain Jewish practices over into Christianity are good to read.

Fantastic so far. Brilliant.

My contemplative reading for now.

This is one of the better Potters.

It's already amazing. Funny, too.

I'm taking this up for spiritual reading. It may be slow going.

Fun to read through again, but I wish I hadn't just seen the movie so the plot would be less familiar.

Kundera is a novelist of ideas, and he uses his characters to take up different questions. Interesting.

I haven't decided how I feel about this book yet.

I loved Immortality, so I'm trying another of Kundera's novels.

Flying through this fanciful and fun read.

I am loving this book! Miller's brutal honesty is inspirational and refreshing.

Absorbing read. Great stuff.

This came highly recommended, and it is not disappointing.

Fantastic. It's hard to read this before bedtime though--too compelling.

Most of my devotional reading is intellectually oriented, so Manning is very refreshing.

Excited to reread this classic!

Looks good!

Gillham explains truths I first learned in Stanford and Nee in more easily understood contexts. He also has some good examples.

Phenomenal collection of stories! O'Connor always leaves you gasping for air.

Good so far, though the stories have ended similarly. Great insights into humanity's proclivity for self-inflicted wounds.
