I am usually reading at least three books at any given time. I like to have one fiction, one general non-fiction, and one on religion or theology. You can determine which is from which category.
Here’s what I’m reading these days:
- What Dreams May Come
- So far, I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by Richard Matheson. Besides this one, I’ve read I Am Legend
and The Beardless Warriors: A Novel of World War II. Dreams is a fanciful story of a man who dies, goes to “heaven” but misses his wife so much that he is willing to endure the torments of hell to be with her. This book does not convey a Christian understanding of life, death and the afterlife. But he has researched very thoroughly the views of other world religions which inform many of the trendy armchair philosophers of our time. Very romantic. Very interesting. Very full of rubbish.
– I think the title is very self-explanatory. I think anyone who ever has to communicate ideas (pastor, teacher, advertiser, parent, coach, etc.) should read this book. Made to Stick reminds me a lot of another book I like a lot, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
.
– Just trying to increase my understanding of film both as an artistic medium and as a conveyer of particular impressions and ideas.
