The concept of Hamilton's book is something we buy into and have striven to practice. <br />Eagleton's background reminds me a little of T.S. Eliot. You can read my blog post on that here http://bit.ly/3X985<br />Have you heard any of D'Souza's debates with Hitchens?<br />I love the way Amazon recommends other books when you look up books... Eagleton has some interesting titles.<br />I read large sections of Calvin's Institutes about 30 years ago... that seems an unusual selection these days. What do you think?<br />And the journalism books look quite compelling. Durn... too many books, too little time.<br />e.Ed Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703797864648081829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-10109316803527113102009-10-08T08:53:25.937-05:002009-10-08T08:53:25.937-05:00I'm reading Dickens' "Great Expectati...I'm reading Dickens' "Great Expectations," "Enough" by Rev. Adam Hamilton, "Introduction to Bheavioral Economics," by Nick Wilkinson, "Reason, Faith and Revolution," By Terry Eagleton, and two books on journalism, "Telling True Stories" (Mark Kramer and Wendy McCall) and "The New New Journalism," by Robert S. Boynton. I'm also dipping into Calvin's "Institutes" and a writing book, "Style," by Joe Williams. <br /><br />Some of these books I've been 'reading' for a couple of years now, and have finished many others in the meantime.Michael Fitzgeraldhttp://www.mffitzgerald.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-84115709538852448722009-10-07T20:09:09.735-05:002009-10-07T20:09:09.735-05:00Some really good stuff there...

I prefer paper and print, but can see how that would have real value.<br /><br />My dad recommended John Sandford to me a number of years ago, and one of Doctorow's books is on my short list of favorites. He is a very good writer.<br /><br />thanks for the visit and recommendations.<br />e.Ed Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703797864648081829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-68475503290263176002009-10-07T16:02:55.298-05:002009-10-07T16:02:55.298-05:00I'm reading Kennedy's new book and it was ...I'm reading Kennedy's new book and it was a gift. Also reading a sample of Homer and Langley by Doctorow on my Kindle to see if I want to buy it. I like the Kindle because you can get a sample and buy it if you like.
