26. The Lost Gospel of Judas – Bart Ehrman This book is very similar to most of Ehrman’s other books, but it focuses a bit on the Gospel of Judas. It’s an interesting subject, if only because seriously, Judas had to do what he did for Jesus to save humanity, so why is it that …

Hitchens on 60 Minutes
I'm a member of a cancer elite. I rather look down on people with lesser cancers. I went to my mom's house for dinner last night and, as luck would have it, Hitch was on 60 minutes. My adoration of Mr. Hitchens is well covered on this blog, but suffice to say that while I …

16-20 75 Book Challenge – Snicket, Fry and Collins
16. The Grim Grotto – Lemony Snicket At this point, I felt that the series started to lose momentum. It’s not that the series hasn’t been absurd and over the top throughout, but I felt like there was a big tone shift to a sort of fantasy series rather than a mystery series. In this …

1-5 75 Book Challenge – Cressida Cowell
These aren’t strictly the first five books I read this year but I thought it made more sense to group them all together. These are the first five books in the How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell (who is, interestingly enough, married to a Simon Cowell, but not THE Simon Cowell). I …

65 Books of 2010; 75 Books 2011
I don’t know if I can actually get to 75 books in one year, but I’m thinking it’s possible — I definitely can do 50 again, but I’ve got some longer books on my list than the discworld books were. Below are two lists — a recap of 2010, and a goal list for 2011. …
