What Are You Reading?

If you are on my blog properly, you will see that my reading list is on display. But I thought I might illuminate my current reading selections, and ask you to share what your nightstand looks like (assuming you have books on your nightstand).

• Parable of the Sower: I just started this yesterday evening. A friend who is moving offered me the chance to browse and take from her science fiction collection. This one was actually off to the side, but she thumbed it a moment and handed it to me. Valuing my friend’s judgment, I decided it would be an earlier-rather-than-later read. So far, “odd” sums it up – but I’m not far in.
• The Road to Reality: Penrose, ah, Penrose. He has some fairly non-standard notions about consciousness and quantum mechanics, but that is not really the subject here. Again, a friend suggested this book on quantum mechanics and the mathematical underpinnings, and I am up for a challenge.
• An Irish Doctor in Peace and War: Love this series. Have been reading this author’s look at medical life in Ireland for some time. I read it to my wife at night, when we aren’t in the middle of a show, such as Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix. In other words, I need to get back into it.
• Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life: Technically I haven’t started this. But I will today…
