Reading is probably my number one pasttime. In my opinion, there is very little in life better than sitting by a fire on a cold winter's night reading a good book. My tastes are fairly eclectic. My reading includes technical and scientific works, science fiction, historical fiction, apologetics, chess, and some of the great books. I do not really have a favorite book. However, the book that has most affected that way that I think and live is How Should We Then Live by Francis Schaeffer. When I remember to, I try to log my reading into GoodReads. Some of my more recent reads are shown below.
