It may have been said that to know what books a man reads is to look into his soul. If that’s true, here’s an open window for anyone who’s interested.
The “Currently Reading” section is what is on my desk at this moment. I usually have a handful of books in process at any given time, and move through them at different speeds. Occasionally I’ll sit down and read a book in one push, but others I prefer to savor and “chew thoughtfully.”
The “Finished Reading” list is in roughly a reverse chronological order, with the most recently read books at the top of the list, and the list will reach back to somewhere in 2008. Most of the books on this list I’ve read completely, though a few I’ve read significant portions of, based on “where I was” at that time.

The Bible (ESV) – The Bible is a permanent resident of this list, and I generally read one or more portions everyday.
