Was thinking this morning that while I enjoy modern technologies like the internet, cell phones, blogging, and social networking, nothing compares with good old fashioned reading. I love books--always have. I remember as a kid making a summertime trek to the Visalia public library and leaving with an arm full of books--westerns, science fiction, adventure and many others. Today our shelves are filled with books from a wide range of fiction and non-fiction genres--novels, religious books, political analysis, self-help. I usually am working my way through several books at once. Here's my current reading list:
--Book of Mormon
--Old Testament
--The Democratization of American Christianity (sociological study of the "burned over district" during the Second Great Awakening, late 1700s to 1830)
--Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin (conservative political commentary)
--Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child (fluff adventure novel)
--Joseph Smith Papers, volume 1832-1839
I think fewer kids today know the joy of settling down with a good book. I hope my grandkids are the exception.
