As I entered my teen years , like many young males , Stephen King was my main read. His horror novels were riveting. My two favorites were Salem's Lot and The Stand . Creepy and page turners . They along with some history (typically ancient or war history) and the Lord of the Rings stuff ,fueled my reading . Plus I remained a avid comic reader for years . One of my favs was swamp Thing .
So with that in mind , I thought that as I read through a book , I will use one day a week to write some insight from what I'm reading. It won't be Stephen King . I haven't read anything by him since he moved on from horror. Just didn't like his newer stuff. Plus since my focus primarily is on Christian theology , it will be from that pool I will be reading . However it could be a classic of literature because I have thought about blogging through The Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan . We shall see.
Books I'm currently reading ; The Christian Life-Sinclair Ferguson , Scripture Alone-RC Sproul , Reason For God - Tim Keller , Christless Christianity - Michael Horton , The Potters Freedom - James White

It's funny, to me, that you got yelled at for reading comic books in school. Didn't the teacher grasp 3 amazing points? One, you were only 5 years old. Two, you were a boy and reading. Three, 2 little boys she didn't have to teach to read.
I didn't start reading until I went to school, in Grade 1. Note to the uninformed; New Brunswickers are smarter so we don't need that extra year. Hence, no Primary.
I don't remember reading much at all, before then. I just remember one time, around late fall, looking up at the board and I could read it. It was such a pivotal point, in my life, that I can remember the smell of chalk, the sound of the kids scraping their chairs and the sight of my teacher at her desk. It's very vivid to me.
I've been a "library geek" ever sense. I'm a speed reader, except with some of our theology books. Notice how they've gone from yours to ours? How you can read 6 to 8 books, at the same time, amazes me. I have to consume them at a slower pace or I'll miss the point. Looking forward to your coming blogs. Love you, Mrs Reg
