Hi! Harley here.
What is my favorite book?
That's the topic for today.
But I'm going to change that to...
because I don't have a favorite of anything.
I have favorites within categories.
So I'm going to talk about some of my favorite
books and favorite authors today.
Starting the list with fiction, I'm going
to start with Chronicle of Narnia.
That's probably, if I had to order things,
that would be at the top of the list.
And closely followed by the space trilogy.
Both of these are by C.S. Lewis and I've read
both of them multiple, multiple times.
In fact everything on the list I've read
multiple times.
So, we'll just go with that.
I've also seen the movies on the Chronicles
of Narnia multiple times.
Next up would be J.R.R. Tolkien's
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Again both of those I've read multiple times
and really enjoy them.
Next would be the Foundation universe, all
the books in that series by Isaac Asimov.
Particularly, I really enjoy the first three
that are in the R. Daneel Olivaw series.
Those I've read more than some of, the rest
of the series.
But I really enjoy the whole series.
Steven Lawhead would be the next author.
He does primarily kind of fantasy stuff, but
he has two series that I really enjoy.
One is the retelling of the Authurian legends;
I think he has five or so books in that series.
And then he also has a retelling of the Robin
Hood myth.
That's a trilogy that he's done on that one.
Both of these I really, really like.
Finally in the fiction section would be
Orson Scott Card with his books Treason and
Ender's Game.
Both of those were some of his early work
in the early 80s.
Those are my favorites that I've read of his.
Ender's Game is actually the first of a series
books in that universe.
The first one I think is the best, Ender's
Game.
The others are good but kind of start getting
a little weirder the further you get into
the series.
Shifting over to non-fiction.
First of all I want to mention The Evidential
Power of Beauty by Thomas Dubay.
This one is a little bit different than all
the others because
this is a Catholic priest that wrote this
and he's also an old-earth believer
and I'm a Protestant young-earth believer.
So there's a couple paragraphs that I kind
of throw out
but a couple paragraphs out of a whole book
is not too bad.
For the most part I really enjoy reading that
book.
And then finally in the non-fiction section
everything else is just authors:
C. S.Lewis, Francis Schaeffer and Dietrich
Bonhoeffer.
I really enjoy all of their writings.
I don't what more to say about that.
So otherwise, until tomorrow, go make something.
Perfection's not required. Fun is!
