📚Finished Reading: Let Evening Come, Jane Kenyon.
Really enjoyed this collection, the second of Kenyon’s I’ve read this year. It could be described as “depressed Annie Dillard writes poetry,” lots of natural imagery and close observation.

Books I’ve read.
📚Finished Reading: Living Life Backwards, David Gibson.
Read this with a group of guys from church and met weekly to discuss it. It’s a compelling interpretation of Ecclesiastes and easily the best book from Crossway I’ve ever read.
📚Finished Reading: A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L’Engle.
I somehow missed this book as a child, but would have absolutely loved it when I was about 12. I loved it now, what a delightful book.
📚Finished Reading: The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky.
📚Finished Reading (well, listening on a road trip): Everything is Tuberculosis, John Green.
Very interesting book on our oldest infectious disease. Great for a road trip audio book.
📚 Finished Reading: Talk’s Body: A Meditation Between Two Keyboards, David Sudnow.
This is the much more readable follow-up to Ways of the Hand. Full of pithy observations on the connections between music, language, writing, the body, mathematics. A book (most) music lovers would likely enjoy.
📚Finished Reading: Ways of the Hand: The organization of improvised conduct, David Sudnow.
I expect this book would be unbearably tedious to most readers, but it is relevant to a very slim niche of my teaching practice and was exactly the book for me. Thanks @mbattles for the recommendation.
📚Finished reading: The Theological Imagination, Judith Wolfe.
Interesting book. Wolfe is erudite in seemingly every field and wondrously well-read. Her writing is typical of academics, but one wishes the compelling ideas she has were presented in a clearer style.
📚Finished Reading: Constance by Jane Kenyon.
Man, what a collection. One of the best (and most heart-wrenching) I’ve read.
📚 Finished Reading: Foster by Claire Keegan.
I’m just astounded at what she can do in such a short space. Not quite as heavy as Small Things Like These, but a beautifully told story you can read in a sitting or two.
