Back to the shelves

It's time for another round of What-Books-Are-On-Ben's-Desk. :) We have the scriptures, of course; then Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Hegemon (I'm a few chapters in), Donald Norman's The Design of Everyday Things, the Bible in Spanish and German, George MacDonald's Phantastes, Sheila Davis's The Craft of Lyric Writing, Allen & Greenough's New Latin Grammar, Mortimer J. Adler's Ten Philosophical Mistakes, Teach Yourself Sanskrit, C.S. Lewis: Essay Collection and Other Short Pieces, Arthur Henry King's Arm the Children, Moreland and Fleischer's Latin: An Intensive Course, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, Peter Baker's Introduction to Old English, Tolstoy's War and Peace, Susan Cooper's The Grey King, Mortimer J. Adler's How to Read a Book, the Spanish hymnbook, Lonely Planet's Don't Let the World Pass You By!, Henry B. Eyring's To Draw Closer to God, John le Carré's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, How to Read German, Bruno Bettelheim's The Uses of Enchantment, and C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces (which I need to return to the library soon). I'm not actively reading all of them at the moment (they're all at varying levels of activity) and now that I realize how many there are, I'll probably be putting some of them on the shelf for the time being -- school starts in four days and I won't be able to devote as much time to reading as I'd like. ~sigh~
