What I'm Reading on Vacation
I'm going to throw this into the reviews category, but it isn't really.
Everybody else is talking about the Harry Potter book. I'm not reading it. NOT because I think it's Satanic or will make me run around att the full moon naked or something. I'm just not interested in it. My wife is reading the series: she reads one every year at the beach (which is next week). This year she is reading book 4. So far, she hasn't started casting spells or riding broomsticks, so I think we're safe.
I figured since everyone else is talking about reading Harry Potter, I'll talk about all the OTHER things I'm reading.

A couple of your amazon links don't show what the book is... *pout* I was interested to see what Terry Brooks you were reading - I have read several of the Shannara series as well, and really enjoyed them. Hmm... guess that'll be my next batch of checkouts when I hit the library this week. Thanks for the reminder!

That would be Jarka Ruus, the first in the High Druid of Shannara series. Finished last night, so it didn't even make the trip to the beach!

Oddly, the Amazon links seem messed up. Sometimes a book shows up, sometimes the stupid Amazon thing shows up. I don't know why -- I'll fix it if I get a chance.
{update}OK -- I put the title and author for each one, in case the Amazon graphic goofs up. I'll do things differently next time I do this ...

Award Winning Book
Congrats to Nancy Pearcey, who has just been awarded the
ECPA's Gold Medallion Award for best book in the category of “Christianity and Society” for her book
Total Truth. I know that I enjoyed reading the book, and I would encourage others to read it, and take it's message to heart -- Christians need to live a consistent life, and need to realize that Christianity is a viable, rational worldview.
The press release for this announcement is below:

Total Truth Part 3: How We Lost Our Minds and Summary
Part 3 of
Total Truth focuses on a topic that has generated a lot of discussion and controversy in recent years, and is a main part of Pearcey's thesis -- the anti-intellectualism of evangelical Christianity. Unfortunately, it's also the section of the book I had the most trouble with.
