My next project

I love to read. I love to dive into a book and live in that world for a time. I've always had alone for books and ai am one of those people that reads my favorites over and over again. If I didn't I would spend a fortune on books! I find myself drawn back to the Ted Dekker Circle series and all the connected books. I've decided to take that journey again, but this time I am going to try to blog my thoughts as I go through. I don't know that anyone is listening. If you are, well, I'm really doing this for me, not you. But if you get something out of it, well that's awesome! I really enjoy reading Dekker. He has a gritty style that I know doesn't appeal to everyone. Many Christians are even offended by his works because he refuses to follow the rules that most Christian authors do. He doesn't feel the need to pretty things up. He does gloss things over or put a veneer on reality. He doesn't mind getting gross or dirty. When I read his books though, I feel like he writes what is really under the surface, what we think but won't admit to the rest of the world. Sometimes I think his dialogue is a bit lacking. But he always makes me think. So, off I go, with Black.....
