Quote from a book
I’m reading this book called Jesus Plan for a New World,
I don’t know whether or not to recommend it yet, because he hasn’t reached many conclusions.
But there a lot of thought provoking quotes, like the following…
Dietrich’s Cost of Discipleship
The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Boenhoffer was one of the first Christian books that I ever read.
Most people know Dietrich (I think he would want me to call him Dietrich) as the German Christian who tried to assassinate Hitler during World War II. He almost pulled it off, too.

Books: God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian by Kurt Vonnegut
I never know what to look for at the library or bookstore, and I thought there must be other people in the same predicament. Professional critics suck and Oprah’s book club is totally no fun, so I thought I’d share some of the books I’ve been reading.
Upfront, you should know that I’m a huge fan of Kurt Vonnegut. Hocus Pocus could be my favorite book of all time (excepting I Just Forgot by Mercer Mayer).
So I needed my Vonnegut fix, and this was what they had.
Books: The Game by Jack London
The other day I picked up Into The Wild (which is not by Jack London). About Alaska, the first chapter of Into The Wild had an excerpt from The Call of The Wild (which is by Jack London).
The excerpt made me feel bad about anything I’ve ever written. In it’s beauty and brilliance I atonce yearned for more.
Book Reviews
I never know what to read.
I go to the bookstore and I stare. Does an interesting title warrant $14, probably not…
