Alright, so I thought I’d share some other stuff I’ve read recently. This summer, I read The Oxford Book of American Detectives Stories(new window). It was a fun little romp through the development of a genre. I also read The Power of One(new window) by Bryce Courtenay. It’s interesting in that it’s told very effectively from a child’s perspective when the main character is a child, and just as effectively as a growing and grown boy later in the story. I also bought The 9/11 Commission Report(new window) at a military bases in Spain, but have yet to read it. Before I left for Africa, I read God’s Politics(new window) by Jim Wallis. I don’t know that I agree with everything Wallis said, but it was certainly worth reading. I doubt that any critical reader will fully agree about anything as highly controversial as the intersection of politics and religion. But most of the value of his work is that it drove me to think about the issues, so in that regard whether I agree or not is immaterial. I’m also in the process of reading The Harvard Business Review on Entrepreneurship(new window) by various authors and Six-Week Startup(new window) by Rhonda Abrams.
Anyway, I have to leave to go to church. More later.
Cheers,
Andrew
Interesting … I am reading God’s Politics right now, well not right now, but you know what I mean. I would agree with your review of it. I’ve found it worth the read, but I too, don’t agree with it all.
