Confession (Warning I say the s word)

I had a library book for about two months. I couldn't seem to really get into it, or really out of it. It seemed to hold my attention just enough that I thought I would finish it. I was going to renew it (FOR LIKE THE 8th time), but someone had a request. I've decided to just let it go all the way. That was Cutting for Stone. It bothers me how often books put too many details about sex and sexual things. Well this book had a medical element to it, and the MD was talking about his infections and describing symptoms. I mean no thanks, really that's not pertinent to the story. I guess honestly I felt like the 130 pages I read were details that seemed not pertinent.I'm sorry if you read that and loved the story. We all love different things; I'm sure I dork out on things you care nothing about.

Anyway, I recently borrowed The Hunger Games; based on the fact that it's been recommended from so many people, I'm excited about starting it. I'm excited to read something interesting and not something I have to force myself to finish.

Here's the rest of the CONFESSION...I made a vow to not buy anymore books (unless it's for a group study) until I've finished reading the books that I've bought. Well, I cheat by going to the library and borrowing from others. This is not really so bad, except here's a list of all the books on my shelves at home that I need to read.

Ugh, here goes:
 A Praying Life by Paul E. Miller (started to read a year ago and picked it back up yesterday)
Muslims and Christians at the Table by Bruce McDowell and Anees Zaka (read several chapters and put it down)
Searching For God Knows What by Donald Miller
The Five Love Languages of Teenagers by Gary Chapman
The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel (read more than half can't seem to finish)
Out of the Salt Shaker by Rebecca Pippert
War of Words by Paul Tripp
Each for the Other by Bryan Chappell
The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian
The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis
The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics (many books in there I haven't read yet)
East of Eden by John Steinbeck (super evil story that was really discouraging have 1/3 left can't seem to force myself to finish)
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan (started this book like 3 times)
The Dangerous Duty of Delight by John Piper
1984 by George Orwell (never read it before)
Hard Times by Charles Dickens
Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ by John Piper
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (also never read it in school)
American Indian Myths and Legends by Richard Erdoes and Alfonso Ortiz (Andrew had this book at his parent's house and I thought it might be interesting)

Ok so there are a few more on my shelf that I haven't read, but some of them are Andrew's. I don't intend to read them anytime soon, maybe ever, because they are books from Bible studies that are geared towards boys. I might would read them if we have sons.

Currently reading A Praying Life and hoping to read a chapter a day. I will try to restrict myself from reading the Hunger Games until I've read my chapter. I feel like I have to treat myself like a child. How weird!
