"You Are What You Read..."

...I'm not sure what that makes me then...you decide

A few nights ago i was looking at what has become a pile of books next to my bed, thinking have I read all of these books this year? This 2009? Like from January until now? Alas, I had. It's so weird to think that in High School I hated reading, would never read the book for English or History or whatever. I usually skimmed the books and got the passing grade. That and I was in the Lower English classes the slight step above the E.S.L. (English as a Second Language) classes. So maybe I would have passed without skimming too. But here I am a lot older and maybe a schosh wiser and I've read a pile of books since the 1st of the this year!! It's weird how we grow and change. Anyhow just for the sake of it here's a list of books I've read this year thus far (in no particular order)...

LAST OF THE MOHICANS by James Fenimore Cooper
METAMORPHA by Kyle Strobel
I BECAME A CHRISTIAN AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT by Vince Antonucci
HOW TO BE A PIRATE by Cressida Cowell
(All)
.....THE CHRONICLES OF NARINIA by C.S. Lewis
(for the 2nd and 3rd time)
.....THE GOBLET OF FIRE, THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, THE DEATHLY HALLOWS by J.K. Rowling
THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas
ELLA ENCHANTED by Gail Carson Levine
THE DEVINE CONSPIRACY by Dallas Willard

Currently Reading: PARENTING WITH LOVE AND LOGIC by Cline and Fay

This of course does not include books of the bible that I've been reading through also. I'll add to the list (as a separate blog) as I continue to read. For those who are members of "GoodReads.com" Sorry I just want to keep one site for all this info that no one reads of mine :-)

Anyone have a suggestions as far as books to read. Ones that have impacted you or are just fun to read? I'd love to hear it!!
