A Peak at My Reading List

I'm an avid reader. If I'm not reading a book, I'm reading one of the Disney magazines we get (Twenty-three or Celebrations).

I just finished a political thriller by Vince Flynn, "Term Limits". I really enjoyed it. He's written nine other books and I plan on eventually reading them. I'm currently reading "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown.

I love to read and I read when I can. I make it a point to at least read some of the book I'm reading every day, even if it's only a few pages...but I can never seem to keep up with the pile of books I have in my home office and the book list I have of books I want to get. We have nearly 150 books on various book shelves in the house...books that we've accumulated over the years since my wife and I got married. This doesn't even include books we've bought for the kids.

My "to read" book pile consists of the following books (in no particular order):

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
  • Kingdom Keepers II: Disney at Dawn
  • Kingdom Keepers III: Disney In the Shadow
  • The Messianic Legacy
  • Peter and the Shadow Thieves
  • Peter and the Secret of Rundoon
  • America for Sale
  • Red Rabbit
  • Finding Jefferson
  • The Woman with the Alabaster Jar
  • Breaking the DaVinci Code
  • The History of Romania
Okay...that's the pile of books that I actually have in my possession. I've had some of these book for years. I've been meaning to read them but as you'll soon see there are books I hear about that I want to read and some of them I want to read sooner than later, so some of the books I have stay near to bottom of the pile.

Here's a partial list of books that I want to eventually get and read:
  • George Washington's Sacred Fire
  • The Real George Washington
  • The Real Thomas Jefferson
  • Samuel Adams - A Life
  • Original Intent - The Courts, The Constitution, & Religion
  • Separation of Church and State
  • A Patriot's History of the United States
  • Atlas Shrugged
  • American Progressivism
  • New Deal or Raw Deal
  • The Forgotten Man
  • America Alone
  • The Overton Window
  • Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism
As I stated earlier, I really like the Vince Flynn's first book and want to at some point get the rest of his books:
  • Transfer of Power
  • The 3rd Option
  • Separation of Power
  • Executive Power
  • Memorial Day
  • Consent to Kill
  • Act of Treason
  • Protect & Defend
  • Extreme Measures
  • Pursuit of Honor
I'll probably add to the list as I see or hear of books that interest me and maybe I'll actually read them all.
