Natural Goat Care by Pat Coleby

Which has apparently gone up in price since I purchased it. Hmm.

But I’m trying what to decide to do with my limited personal reading time. I spend a bit of time on the weekends pre-reading for fifth grade, which is harder than it sounds because this fifth grade is certainly not like the fifth grade I was subjected to.

The trouble is not that I have nothing to read but that while I was not reading anything other than God-Kirk-and-Weaver, I was blessed with a bunch of wishlist matches on PBS, and now I have a pile of must-reads between which I must decide.

Climbing Parnassus: A New Apologia for Greek and Latin by Tracy Lee Simmons

It was the most recent arrival, therefore still sitting on my desk. I think it is a great weakness of mine that I do not make it wait in line with all the others.

So what else? I try to read a number of books at a time; it’s more fun that way, though it doesn’t mean I finish any more books than I would otherwise.

I can choose from

When Sinners Say “I Do”: Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage by Dave Harvey

Or

Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv

Or

From Dawn to Decadence: 1500 to the Present by Jacques Barzun

Or even

Why Gender Matters by Leonard Sax

To name a few.

This isn’t a democracy, but I’ll let you all vote on what you want to be pestered with quotes with for a while. I’m curious.
