For a light hearted, fun fiction, Jan Karon's Mitford Series is the best! Read a review in Ravi Zacharias' newsletter recommending it...have read the 7 books in the series several times since :)

But what about your choice of beaches... obviously none as good as my homeland down the road from you... heading off down there next week... can't wait!

I've read The Shack - its a bit soppy and cringy.

Karamazov I'm taking in small doses - I started it in May and keep coming back to it, I fear I'll lose where I'm up to but I'm still enjoying it.

Good list. I'm also part-way through Brothers Karamazov, and loving it! But I admit that I've read several other books in the pause I'm taking... I usually avoid looking at the W.O. recommendations / bestsellers lest I sink into despair - it can quite ruin a day. Apart from grace and gospel hope that is.

I am just not sure if Driscoll recommends "The Shack"?Any ideas? I wish he would not sit on the fence!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK65Jfny70Y

Al Mohler did a radio show on, "The Shack" you might like to listen to it. Basically it's an interesting book with some really bad theology! I like your blog.God bless

DK, I'd rather aim high than risk running out. And, I am already about a third of the way through Karamazov (and yeah, not all clear on it yet), I'm about 75% of the way through The Road, so that should help... 3.5 weeks of holiday though!Larry - I've read the Eliot biog. V.good.

The shack has drawn a fair bit of criticism from the online world - i think its Tim Challies who has opposed it on amazon. If im brutally honest I usually deliberately avoid the Wesley Owen best sellers. Joyce Meyer and Rob Bell being quite often on their list doesn't impress me.. I recommend - not that you asked - Roger Steer's bio of Hudson Taylor or Elisabeth Elliot's bio of Jim Elliot. I love

How long is your holiday ?!!!That's a seriously ambitious reading list."The Shack" was on Newsnight a little while ago because it is such a publishing phenomenon. Brothers Karamazov is probably about 100x times better though. I really struggled through that but it has stayed with me in a way no fiction book has since. Although I don't think I really get it!
