This Just Read: Catching Up

I'm waaaay behind in posting about books I've read. I haven't posted since September. Ouch. Since then I've read:

Rachel Held Evans' A Year of Biblical Womanhood
I really enjoyed it. I follow her work online and really wanted to read one of her longer works. This one was great.

Lawrence Wright's Thirteen Days in September
Great plane reading. An account of the Camp David Accord. These are events that happened when I was a teen--too young to really know what was happening. A well-written, detailed account.

Finally finished Shane Claiborne's Irresistible Revolution
I love Shane's stuff and had been reading through this book in bits and pieces. I finally pushed through to the end. I highly recommend it!

John Jackson Miller's A New Dawn
Star Wars: Clone Wars was wrapped up and they were launching Star Wars: Rebels. This is the novel to get folks into that animated series, introducing you to the characters, etc,.. It wasn't great (last year's Kenobi was great), but it was good Star Wars fun.

Neal Stephenson's The Baroque Cycle

For some reason I decided to re-read this 3,000-page, nine-book opus. I love Neal Stephenson's writing and in this work he comes closer than ever to the running monologue inside my head. Not quite a prequel to Cryptonomicon, it jumps back three hundred years to follow a vast array of characters through the birth of the Enlightenment. Yes, there's the Einstein-Leibnitz debate, King Solomon's gold, alchemy and natural philosophy, swashbuckling and antics in the court of the Sun King. It's really an indescribable work, so I'll stop now.

I may have forgotten one or two books in there...
