Books I have read recently...

I love reading, but I always go in cycles. I will read like crazy for a while and then I will take a bit of a break. I have started another reading cycle and here are some books I have been working on:

Chameleon Days: The Monbergs recommended this book to me months ago and just now got to it. This book is about an American boy's experiences in Ethiopia when his family were missionaries there.
Greg Mortenson was a mountain climber. After a failed attempt at climbing K2 he spent sometime in a village in Pakistan and promised the villagers he would build a school for them. This book follows Greg as he is working his way through Pakistan building schools for children.


I have just started this book...it is for the Book Club at our library. I have not been in a book club for a very long time but they are so much fun. I am looking forward to reading this book...I'll let you know how it is.

I liked all the Amharic in the Bascom book. You'll have to tell me what you think. Have you read Barbara Kingsolver's new book, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life?" I'm going to attempt making my own cheese this weekend--we'll see if her recipe really works!

Wow melodie...I hope you blog about your cheese experience! I may want to read that book too.

You guy's gonna try and make it up to Breckenridge while we are there? You should.

We are bringing a group of people out to go to Breckenridge... Unfortunately we have to go straight from the airport, but we're meeting up with a group from Nicole's church. We'll be there from the 18th to the 21st.
