The Hope of Israel and the Nations
The Hope of Israel and the Nations deals with the text of Scripture, letting the Bible interpret itself. Kim Burgess has spent more than 40 years studying this topic. The newness of the material in the New Testament takes all the promises found in the Old Testament regarding Israel and shows...

Skunk Works by Ben Rich. It is the story of the Lockheed Skunk Works from the U2 to through the F117 Stealth fighter.
If you enjoy that, try King Kull
Great book.

I picked up a copy (printed in New Albany in 1858 in an $8 stack of books) at Peddlers mall yesterday of "Letters from an early settler of Texas W B Dewees, compiled in 1853....
I have no idea what its' worth but U of Texas reprints from the 1960s go for $60 plus and Amazon has paperbacks for $25 or so....
I ain't gonna lie...I feel pretty good...the only copy like mine I saw sold at an auction house and they did not list the price.....
It's a collection of letters written to a man in Louisville by his best friend from 1819 to 1840 from Texas...In 1853 his daughter (maybe) sent copies to the District Court of Texas and took the originals over to the Tribune in New Albany to be printed...mine says, "printed by the Tribune...New Albany" and is the one on the far left...
I am at letter V.....People knew how to write back then man...beautiful...
I think it's kind of rare....Leadeye would dig it hugely....
Amazing book...

Always wanted to read through the Lord of The Rings books. So I started those this year.
Yes I started at The Fellowship of The Ring and not The Hobbit. Sue me.
Do audiobooks count? Most of my reading is done electronically these days. I just finished listening to The Deerslayer by James Fenimore Cooper. I'm halfway through The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. And I'm plodding trough Confessions by Augustine of Hippo on the kindle. That last one is taking a while though.
Also, I'm making it a tradition to read Dicken's A Christmas Carol every year.

Started reading the Harry Potter books for the first time back in November. Always liked the movies and meant to read the books but never got around to it. I just started the last one, Deathly Hallows, a couple days ago. Good stuff.

For whatever reason, I decided to re-read Moby Dick. This is at least the third time I've read it, always with enough years between readings that I recall the story but not the detail. I enjoy reading books from different time periods because you're reminded of how timeless some things truly are. Yeah, we're not sticking pointy bits of metal in whales for oil any longer, but that's hardly the point.
Example, the narrator/main character is talking about his fate in life and how he imagines the cosmic playbill, in which he imagines the acts reading:
"Grand Contested Election for Presidency of the United States"
"Whaling Voyage by One Ishmael"
"Bloody Battle in Afghanistan"
Only the whaling voyage is out of place in a book set in contemporary times vs a book written in the 1850s.

I watched the film adaption...it was okay but I felt that the film version strayed too far from the original tale....
although Burt Reynolds was great in it....
