![]() I enjoy his books too, Grumpy. At one point, I had most of his books, in paperback, and have read just about every book he wrote. I'm currently rereading all of his books, as many of them I've not read in twenty years! I just finished Bowdrie the other day, and am planning on reading Bowdrie's Law tomorrow...the public library is a wonderful place! ![]() |

Ok, here is a question for all the readers out there. When do you like to read? Do you have any sort of routine you do when you read?
Personally I don't have any routine, but I do have difficulties reading when there are people around making noise. I usually try to read when everyones in bed or out on errands. I also prefer to read in the evenings, but really wish I could get into things in the morning. Peace and Love, Stephen |

Another question about reading: what books do you introduce to your children as they become of reading age? I remember growing up on Sugar Creek Gang, The Bobbsey Twins, Five Little Peppers, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Walter Farley's Black Stallion series. When I was older, Zane Grey, Emily Loring and Grace Livingston Hill. I read each of Zane Grey's books at least 3 times. My mom used to read to us before bedtime. I remember The Yearling, Bambi and Little Women. I'm convinced the bedtime reading time that was a family ritual instilled my love of reading. First part of reading was always from the Bible and second half of reading was fiction. She seemed to always find a cliff-hanger chapter to finish the session and it always left us eager for more! I also remember learning to crochet and embroider during the Billy Graham Crusades (on radio) and later even a bit of Mystery Theater. |

Stephanos,

Most of the time at night. My wife and both read in bed before we go to sleep. I read reports and all mostly in the day time when I'm working. I have to read a lot with my line of work. Atlas |

What's really bad is when you're in a position where you can't escape the noise, like a dorm or a prison or an army barracks. I'm glad I'm not in that position any more! |

J.C. Ryle... Anything he wrote!
John Bunyan... Rich! Besides Pilgrims Progress (which Pastor Spurgeon tried to read each year) and "The Holy War"... and "The Jerusalem Sinner Saved." ,try and get a copy of "Life and Death of Mr. Badman". It is kind of the reverse of Pilgrim's Progress. John Gill's Commentaries. Adam Clarke's Commentaries. R.C. Sproul... Get his book titled "The Holiness of God"! ![]() Louis L'Amour--- Good stuff. The Short Stories are very good, Including the Texas Ranger stories about Chick Bowdrie. Ann Coulter---- Great wit and humor. Not afraid to tell the truth about the commies in our country. Get her book titled: "Godless"---The Church of Liberalism. Arthur Conan Doyle--- The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries! Clive Cussler----Good stories ! The Book of Common Prayer. |

Thanks to all who have contributed (and who are still contributing) to this list. I've jotted down several titles of books to add to my library.
I need a break from the TV... we've been immersed in election coverage for so many weeks and I need something uplifting!!! TV goes OFF!!! (Well, except for *Whale Wars* on Animal Planet) ![]() |
