Currently reading
  1. What Next, Chicago? Notes of Pissed-Off Native Son, by Matt Rosenberg (he's a friend of a friend, self-published book; I was asked to read this and post a [positive] review on his page ... )
  2. The Friendships of Women by Dee Brestin (for Bible study group) Our Bible study group has decided against continuing with this book. Some got the Workbook, others a book with stories, still others with stories that do not match others -- too many editions to spend wasted time trying to get us all on the same page. We'll be starting a different book in 2 weeks.
  3. He Chose the Nails: What God Did to Win your Heart by Max Lucado (replacement book for Bible study group)
