      Today I read a couple more chapters into A Long Way Gone.  It’s certainly a lot heavier than I expected.  I don’t know what to think yet, except my heart is just breaking over what the author and so many had to go through.

        I just read the first two chapters of A Trip Into the Supernatural by Roger J. Morneau. It’s about a man who was lured into demon-worship and became a Satanist, but God rescued him from it and brought him into saving grace. A friend recommended this book to me and those first chapters were JUST. CHILLING. It started off with a conversation Morneau had with a demon, which ended with the demon laughing creepily and slamming out of his room. *shiver*

        But yeah, I would recommend it so far! It seems like such a great book. Some similar books I love are The Autobiography of John G. Paton, which is about Paton’s missionary work among cannibals. And The Life and Diary of David Brainerd, which is about Brainerd’s missionary work among pagan Native Americans. I definitely think everyone should give those books a read!

          I recently finished Frankenstein so now I’m reading the YA book The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White, which so far has proved to be quite interesting!

            Currently reading 50 pgs a day of The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I haven’t been this emotionally invested in a book like this since East of Eden. Ivan is my favorite character so far. Can’t wait to finish it.

                Wait. You’re a KotLC fan as well?! *claps hands* Yay, me too! I mean, I’m still fairly new to the series (I’m only on book two), but I’m already enjoying it so far! How is the rest of the series compared to the first book? Is it good?:)

                  Yes, I love them!!!  I haven’t read them in a while, but I’m pretty sure they’re all as good as the first one.

                    @nova21 Ahh, that’s so cool that you’ve read KotLC! 🙂 I’ve heard so much about it and I wanna read it soooo badly.

                     

                    And, yeah, I just discovered this topic. It seems so cool, so I’m definitely coming back to it. 🙂
