Book Meme
Via Eric over at Fire Ant Gazette: Here's how it works. Copy the list, then remove from it the names of any authors not in your home library, replacing them with names of authors you have. Boldface the ones you’ve added.
1. Louis Berkhof
2. Graham Greene
3. Henry James
4. Anne Lamott
5. Sir Walter Scott
6. Peggy Noonan
7. John Irving
8. Susan Hunt
9. Asne Seirerstad
10. William Shakespeare
Yikes. I guess Eric and I don't have a lot of bookshelf overlap, or at least meme overlap. I picked authors to add that I've had in my hands lately.

Dawn's mom as in Margaret's grandmother? *grin*
My Mom is in Chicago, and I totally understand the shock it can be going from FL and TX to the north. A friend of mine in IL was shocked when she heard we were coming to Ukraine--she didn't think I'd be able to make it. But with God's grace. . .
I like what I've read from Susan Hunt. Which books of hers do you recommend?
Posted by: TulipGirl at January 6, 2005 06:33 PM
Nope, not this Dawn. My mom doesn't even know I blog, I think.

Oh! Mrs. Brady!
As soon as I saw your e-mail address and Lady-Dusk-Dawn's comments I realized who you are. *blush*
I'm glad you're able to get more news from Ukraine via Hubby and I. And we certainly are thankful to have your Dawn in our lives.

Not only do I not have most of those authors on my shelf, I've never heard of most of them...
I may have to put up my own list.
Posted by: Jordana at January 6, 2005 08:34 PM
ok. now you know the dawn i'm talking about:) re susan hunt's books--i have loved SPIRITUAL MOTHERING for many reasons--the real-life stories, the Biblical challenges to both younger and older women to have older and younger women in your life to disciple and be discipled by, and not to be rigid & formal re each relationship. some people will take a lot of time for a season, others, not so long and later, God often moves either me or them on. in those wonderful rare occasions, some of those people stay in your life a long time and always the ministry is mutual.

i liked HEIRS OF THE COVENANT b/c it was helpful in giving me a better overview of the reformed faith. i grew up in a christian but not reformed home and picked up my reformed doctrine in bits and pieces. i want to read the newer book by susan and barbara thompson that has "legacy" in the title. i think i will like it better than BY DESIGN. that book was good but had some southern cultural things in it that i believe will be balanced by barbara (she too is southern but is younger than susan and more blunt and came to Christ via a more roundabout, rebellious route.) i fear my characters have run out. mb

I tried to pick authors based on the number of their works that we have that I've personally read myself (my husband's list would be a bit different that mine). We own at least two or more of the books by each author that I added.
1. Annie Dillard

3. Henry James
4. Anne Lamott

10. William Shakespeare
Ahhh, we overlap with Tolstoy and Solzhitsyn. We couldn't NOT have them on the shelves and live here. . .
Posted by: TulipGirl at January 7, 2005 06:42 PM
We've got Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Checkov as well. I read Checkov & Tolstoy in college, hubby's read Crime & Punishment... That and The Brothers Karamazov are on my list of must-reads for 2005. Have you read any Gogol? I have to read The Overcoat now, since it features very prominently in Lahiri's The Namesake.
Posted by: Feeble Knees at January 7, 2005 11:08 PM

3. Jane Austen
4. Elisabeth Elliot
5. Sir Walter Scott
6. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
7. Sarah Dunant
8. Susan Schaeffer Macauley
9. G. K. Chesterton
10. William ShakespeareVery little overlap...is that bad? I have read some of your authors (l like Hunt, don't care for Irving and have a love/hate thing going with Lamott) but - who is Asne Seirerstad??
Posted by: Liza Q at January 8, 2005 05:59 PM
Liza,
Asne Seirerstad is a Norwegian journalist who spent time in Afghanistan. After doing reporting on the US mission there and the end of the Taliban regime, she lived for three months with a middle-class family in Kabul and wrote a fascinating book that I just finished reading, The Bookseller of Kabul.
Even though she is an obscure author, I included her on my list since hers was the book I was currently reading.
