Reading Resolution

As far as resolutions go for the new year, I like to assess my reading from the previous year, and set new goals for the next year.  Other than that, my New Year’s resolutions tend to be limited and short term/measurable.
Last year, I read the following books.  As usual, about 5 books I planned to […]

The Deathly Hallows

Just finished HP7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last night.  Took a solid 6.5 hours, but I made it through in three evenings.  It was a great read, and though I’ve heard rumblings of folks who didn’t like the way the series wrapped up, I had no complaints.

On My Nightstand

Books currently on my nightstand:

The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud debate God, […]

Any Given Day (Or Bruins Upset USC)

I have to admit I’m not a huge UCLA football fan. UCLA basketball? Now that’s another story. I’ve been a UCLA Bruins basketball fan since the first Final Four I can remember.
It is interesting that USC, who I’ve heard mentioned as a college team capable of running with the weaker NFL teams, […]
