So yes, I'm a complete bookworm, but sometimes that's just the most exciting thing going on. I started reading some C. S. Lewis the other day -- I never even read the Narnia books before (well, maybe the first one), but now I'm starting to look at some of his writings on Christianity and it's just fascinating. He's an amazing writer, of course, and I feel like I'm being offered a tiny glimpse of something huge that's beyond my grasp. And it's exciting in a way that mere books usually aren't, even to me. It's hard to explain, but last night it got to the point where I didn't want to put it down, but I also couldn't read a whole lot of it at once without getting up and physically moving around to use up some of the excess energy. But that's probably good, since there's so much I'm trying to absorb right now that my brain needs to be forced to take it in small doses. The other books I've been starting are really good, as well. See the list on the sidebar for details. The Most Reluctant Convert is about C. S. Lewis, so it also contains lots of fragments of his writing. It's really interesting to see the amount of change he went through in his life and beliefs. Anyway, back to work for me....
