bird on a wire.
For some reason lately i've just wanted it to be summer time, ...warm and clear skied, and then i would drive around santa cruz with a few friends listening to rogue wave and perhaps eating some banana ice cream from marianne's before we would go to the beach and just be at the beach. Although of course that would only last for maybe 4 hours or so before i would crave rain and clouds again and i would want to go to a nice pub and throw darts and drink a boddingtons, ...but it's neither rain nor shine lately and i think it may be throwing me off. I need to start reading more... any recommendations?

first off, this post made me really happy. i would love to join you for that rogue wave soaked drive.
secondly, where to begin with the list? well if you're craving summertime then be blown away by ray bradbury's "dandelion wine." "martian chronicles" amazes as well. there's always "the great divorce" for the lewis lovers.
here's some categories with books...
theology
-a generous orthodoxy by brian mclaren
-traveling mercies by anne lamott
-the ragamuffin gospel by brennan manning (just re-read and loved again)
fictional
-in the lake of the woods or the things they carried by tim o'brien (both war related and only semi-fictional)
-the space trilogy by cs lewis (perelandra is one of the best books in the world)
and about 20 more i would love to throw your way but that ought to do it.
wow jon, that was thorough...thanks... the great divorce i started and for some odd reason was not into it, which is uncommon for me cause i'm obsessed with lewis... i will probably love it eventually but i need to come back to it... i'm almost done with traveling mercies which i'm enjoying pretty well but it's taken me so long just to almost finish that... i think i may be getting my groove back though, i just started God Knows, and that is entertaining right now... your list is appreciated though, i'll hit some of those up in no time...
