My favorite book-related place, Homespun, where you can enter lists of your favorite, not so favorite, or whatever books, and read everyone elses, which is a very interesting thing. Much like firefly, which is for CDs and videos.

Things I've written down from books I've read:

What I've Read Lately:

Art and meaning, by Jeanette Winterson and Barney Wakeford

Words from Martin Luther, reformer and good guy, from a book called Here I Stand - A life of Martin Luther
