I am reading the Bible(King James Study Bible second edition) on the 3 year plan, reading all the annotations, footnotes and references and trying to absorb as much as possible.


The 1611 King James is pretty rough going, if you're reading it through. I might suggest you also try some other accurate translations that are in modern English.

I am using The American Standard Version, The Bible in Living English, King James, The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, and the New World Translation.

It's kind of nice to have a few translations, just for reference.

If you do it right, you can go through about four chapters a day. Including time spent to meditate on what you are reading, you can finish in just over a year. But this is not a race. The three year plan is just fine.

The Phillips translation of the Gospels is also a good read.

I just finished The Girl with Seven Names, Escape from North Korea by Hyeonseo Lee minutes ago. Incredible account.

Finished Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield for the second time a couple weeks back. Cannot believe it took me so long to buy it!

Father's Day gift, "Killers of the Flower Moon; The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI."

I'm only 50 pages into it, but it gives every indication of being an incredible story. As the inside cover summary says, "In the 1920s, the richest people per capital in the world were members of the Osage Indian Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Then one by one, the Osage began to be killed off...."

I haven't read them in a couple decades and came across a two book single hardcover of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "1984". Since they are no longer part of the reading lists my high school age daughters have been given, once I'm done with it, I'm going to have them read it and discuss them with them. One is a REALLY avid reader and the other one enjoys reading but at a more casual pace. Looking forward to sharing and discussing these with them.

I highly recommend The Logos Bible Study as study material. Not related to the Logos Bible Software.

Yeah, I'll check The Logos Bible Study out. I'll also give the Phillips a look-see.

I tend to stay closer to the Tyndale and Wycliffe based stuff, though.

But the ones I mentioned earlier should be good enough for anyone to get a start on.

The Beatles by Bob Spitz.

In the space of six months, The Beatles went from being unable to get a record deal to being the biggest thing in European music.

Eighteen months after that they conquered the States.

Currently listening to Devil's Due, the Destroyermen, by Taylor Anderson. A decent series, science fiction/fantasy. Alternate reality, USS Walker from WW2 got sucked into, interesting premise.
My favorites, though, are the books from Jack Campbell, the Lost Fleet series, segueing into the Lost Stars series. And Starkes War, by him as well. I really like using Audible, can listen on the drive to and from work, as well as while I'm mowing, as it's a 2 hr process for the mowing, ha. If you like sci-fi fantasy, and military subjects, they are good reads.
I'm a bit eclectic, like many subjects, but fantasy is my favorite genre.
