Summer reading revisited

So, feeling pretty good about my summer reading (less so about my summer writing…). Here’s what I intended to read June through August:

1. Christian Counseling: An introduction(Maloney and Augsburger): Done
2. The Perfect Storm (Junger):  Done.
3. Inside Hamas (Chehab): Done.
4. Infidel (Ali). Done. (I cheated and read this in May).
5. New England White (Carter). Didn’t read as my number on the library waitlist has yet to come up. Instead, I read his prior The Emperor of Ocean Park which I really liked. It is a depressing mystery.
6. The children of Hurin (Tolkien). Done. Didn’t like.
7. Johnny Tremain (reading to the kids). Gave up. The kids really didn’t get into it. Vocabulary was a bit tough for them.
8. The family sabbatical handbook (Bernick). Done.

Also read Restoring the Fallen: A team approach to caring confronting & reconciling (Wilson’s et al). Done.

All in all it was a summer of fun reading. Now its time to buckle down and do some backlogged professional reading.
