Study Room Guidelines
Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.
We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

Just found Augustine's Confessions for free for the Kindle so I should have that on my device shortly."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I'm reading this fascinating article on the Phineas Gage story. (Hey, JB didn't specify that entries in this thread had to be books.)Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.--Isaiah 1:17
I don't think that all forms o[f] slavery are inherently immoral.--seer

Orthodox Theology: An Introduction by Vladimir Lossky was fantastic. Really dense stuff.
The Diary of a Russian Priest by Alexander Elchaninov is fascinating. It reminds me of Pascal's in the way his thought is so condensed down to these crystalline, distilled observations. I don't agree with everything he says, but he is quite thought-provoking.

I've seen it cited so often that I finally broke down and am going to read it:
Slaves, Women, and Homosexuals by William Webb"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

I've recently been devouring books left and right, though that seems to be slowing again. In the last month or so, this is what I've read:
John Scalzi - The Ghost Brigades, The Last Colony, Zoe's Tale and some of The Human Division.
Richard Kadrey - Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead
Neil Gaiman - American Gods, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Damien Broderick - Godplayers
James Gunn - Transcendental
Tanya Huff - The Silvered
I'm currently reading Brandon Sanderson's "The Way of Kings". It's probably one of the biggest books I've ever read. (Amazon says the hardback, what I have, is 1008 6"x9" pages.)I'm not here anymore.
