glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Be Read Pile It is 6:24 AM Friday morning here by Lake Michigan. I am waking up to another day of my life. I do not know how many days I have left here. My life is in the Lord's hands. I am headed to Glory so why flip out. I thought I would make a list of the books I have been seeking to read or want to read next month. I plan to make a video for my BookTube channel where I show these books. Here are the books on my TBR table- 'Voyager: Travel Writings' by Russell Banks 'A Rebel In Defense Of Tradition: The Life and Politics of Dwight Macdonald' by Michael Wreszin 'A Moral Temper: The Letters of Dwight Macdonald' Edited with an Introduction by Michael Wreszin 'Masscult And Midcult: Essays Against The American Grain' by Dwight Macdonald 'The Last Intellectuals: American Culture In The Age Of Academe' by Russell Jacoby 'The Invention of Angela Carter: A Biography' by Edmund Gordon 'Shaking A Leg: Collected Writings' by Angela Carter 'The Bloody Chamber And Other Stores' by Angela Carter 'Henry David Thoreau: A Life' by Laura Dassow Walls 'The Journals 1837-1861' by Henry Thoreau Edited by Damion Searls 'Walden' by Henry David Thoreau 'Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self' biography by Claire Tomalin 'The Shorter Pepys' by Samuel Pepys Selected And Edited By Robert Latham 'A Pepys Anthology: Passages from the Diaries of Samuel Pepys' Selected and Edited by Robert and Linnet Latham 'The Diary Of Samuel Pepys' Volume 1 For The Years 1659-64 'The Diary Of Samuel Pepys' Volume 2 For The Years 1665-69 'Young Radicals In The War For American Ideals' by Jeremy McCarter 'The Luminaries' a novel by Eleanor Catton 'Psychography' by Merlin Coverley 'The Art of Wandering: The Writer As Walker' by Merlin Coverley 'A Sideways Look At Time' essays by Jay Griffiths 'Haussmann Or The Distinction' a novel by Paul LaFarge 'Phone' a novel by Will Self 'Leg Over Leg' Volume One And Two by Ahmad Faris Al-Shidyaq Translated By Humphrey Davies I have been reading the above books for the last couple of months and plan to continue reading them next month. So it is a new day and I am slowly waking up to the fact there is no way of escape. This morning Carol leaves to have an early lunch with friends. I have no plans for the day ahead of me. Existence keeps speeding by. I did not mention yet the books I have been reading for devotions in the mornings this month and plan to continue reading during the month of August 2017- The Holy Bible 'Sons in the Son: The Riches and Reach of Adoption in Christ' by David B. Garner 'The Book Of Jeremiah' [The Bible in Medieval Tradition] Joy A. Schroeder translator and editor 'Covenant and Commandment: Works, obedience and faithfulness in the Christian life' by Bradley G. Green [New Studies In Biblical Theology] 'The Benedict Option: A Strategy For Christians In A Post-Christian Nation' by Rod Dreher 'The Deep Things Of God how the Trinity Changes Everything' by Fred Sanders 'I Corinthians' New Testament IXa [Reformation Commentary On Scripture] Edited By Scott M. Manetsch 'The Path Of Christianity: The First Thousand Years' by John Anthony McGuckin As you can tell from my current reading list I have a lot on my mind as I drift through the last days of American Empire. It would be nice to have someone to discuss the above books with, but Christians do not read these days. I suppose I will close to write in my paper diary and read my devotional books. It will soon be over. 7:02 a.m. - 2017-07-28 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
