I recently read The Three Theban Plays by Sophocles. In some of my previous reading, especially in literature analysis books, these books are brought up often. Thus, I wanted to read them. I read the plays in the order the book had them: Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Oedipus at Colonus. Each story is intense…
Jane Eyre
I have been reading some classic novels as of late and my most recent is Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is up there as one of my favorite reads. It is a coming-of-age tale with many surprises and unexpected events. It also has two of the most dramatic men I have ever heard…
The Kite Runner
One of my recent reads was The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I have had many people recommend it to me, and I happened to purchase it for my wife several months ago. Hence, it was on my bookshelf and available. If you are looking for an emotional rollercoaster ride of a read, this is…
On Writing
I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday! I recently finished On Writing by Stephen King and I wanted to share my review with you. The book is basically a memoir on his life of writing, along with helpful tips for aspiring writers. I also think that reading it helps me understand the way people go…
The Color of Compromise
For February, I decided to read The Color of Compromise by @jemartisby. It is Black History Month after all. Not to mention, I have often heard people make indictments on the church for racist actions throughout the whole history of the US. In this book, you will find what those actions were (and are). The Color…
The Road
Earlier this year, I trudged down The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It was one of the chapters in On Reading Well by @karenswallowprior and, knowing it was a post-apocalyptic book, decided it was the first one I should get at. And I am glad I did. The Road is a story about an unnamed father…
CS Lewis on the Christian Life
My next review is CS Lewis on the Christian Life. I have become quite the Lewis fan recently, and I was excited for this book, even though I’m not a huge fan of the series. Fortunately, thanks to Joe Rigney, I had a great experience! The purpose of the book is to take the reader…
Dracula
Hayley and I have recently enjoyed listening to some classics together on audiobook. One of those books was Dracula by Bram Stoker. We have been jumping into some classics, and I have not been disappointed! The story of Dracula is incredibly intense. I have appreciated the high level of writing that is always displayed in…
The Great Divorce
One of the books I read to close out 2018 was The Great Divorce by CS Lewis. I have attempted to read it before, but I just couldn’t get hooked. This time I read it with some friends, so I had to power through! It was worth it. The Great Divorce is a dream about…
Reading Between the Lines
First (paper) read of 2019! Reading Between the Lines by Gene Edward Veith Jr. wasn’t a book I was really aware of till recently, and I am happy that I picked it up—well, got it for Christmas! Reading Between the Lines is a book to aid Christians in their ability to read critically. I am…
