Books are listed in reverse-chronological order. Most recently read books are on top.

March 2001: This list is getting old. I haven't been updating it. Most of what I've been reading has been the fiction of Nelson DeMille (I've now read everything he's written) and Michael Crichton. From the Christian bookstore, I've been reading a little Karl Barth, Norman Geisler, and J. P. Moreland. I can recommend most of these author's works with the exception of Crichton's The Great Train Robbery. Barth and Moreland are very challenging; Geisler is an easier read.
