Summer Reading Plans?

Mrs. Nielsen in the LMC has done a fantastic job of encouraging reading and literacy on our campus. One way she is currently doing that is by asking people what their summer reading plans are. She will then be developing a display in the LMC based on those books.

So, I'm attaching my summer reading list. Okay, it's actually my Ambitious list. My Reality list may very well end up being the March issue of Outside Magazine and the Bed, Bath, and Beyond mailer, both of which are next to my toilet (know of any good deals on patio umbrellas?).

So what do YOU plan to read?

A Good School: A Novel by Richard Yates
The Story of Christianity by Justo Gonzalez
Prayer by John Bunyan

Reading History

History has so many different angles. One can examine history from a political, social, and economic angle to name a few. Religious history has interested me for a long time and this book by Protestant reformer John Calvin gives interesting insight into the way he viewed the world.
