Stephen King's The Stand is like all of his other books: brutal. He has this way of digging up all the shit of humanity and making a book that dips in and out of it casually. Good writing but I don't think I could in good conscious recommend the book.
One of our texts for Faith, Hope and Love is The Earth is Enough by Harry Middleton. We have a paper on the book due later in the semester. The assignment is to share with Harry Middleton about faith, hope and love (the gospel), like we were sitting down to coffee together, without using the words faith, hope and love and without using the Four Spiritual Laws or something from Romans. And it has to be all dialogue. No scenery or setting. One of the more interesting papers I've been assigned in my education.
The book itself it beautiful. I am thirty pages in and Harry's writing is... pristine, if I can use a flowery word to describe it. It is one of the rare books I read from time to time that is so beautiful it's painful. You can barely manage ten pages before you have to put it down and stare blankly at the cover. I waver between tucking it under my pillow at night and devouring it in one day.
Tennessee plays the Steelers Thursday. Somewhere in college I lost my apathy for football and became a fan of a few teams. The Titans are one of the few.
