Completed books thus far:

1.  How To Survive In Your Native Land by James Herndon
 This is definitely one of my favourite non-fiction books.  I have probably read this book a dozen times.  Every time I read it I am inspired.  One of the reviews on Amazon says everything very nicely:  "How to Survive presents him at his finest, discussing not how to teach (he almost never does this) but what teaching and learning are like. He does this with humor, honesty, and an edge. No teacher, reading this book, can come away without a more thoughtful consideration of his or her own teaching. It is stunning and does not deserve to have been forgotten in the way that it has."  Also, the book is full of awesome 1960's hippie slang.
2.  Listen by Renee Gutteridge
This was my first foray into Christian Literature.  I'm not sure how I feel about the genre yet.  The book itself was an easy read.  it also helped that the font was big and the margins were huge!  I'm also not entirely sure what makes this a "Christian" book other then the fact that the main characters went to church and talked occasionally about God and Prayer.
3.  Shopaholic Ties The Knot by Sophie Kinsella
I did not enjoy this book at all.  I really don't like Becky Bloomwood.  She is so spacey and scatterbrained and boring.  The books are so unrealistic and....and....all about consumerism.  I'm kind of embarrased that I've read three of these books now, but they are fast reads and I can just turn my brain off and read.


What I have on the Go:

1. Monk Habits for Everyday People by Dennis Okholm - I've pretty much lost interest in this book...but I still have it in case I decide I want to finish it.
2.  Writing Down The Bones by Natalie Goldberg -  I've actually been reading this book since before Christmas.  It's my Bathroom Reader and has nice little 1 pagers to read about writing and writers.
3.  Unless by Carol Shields - Just taken out of the library, in my purse ready to get started on.
4.  A book about Prayer...I can't remember what it's called.
