I've basically had to accept the fact that I don't have time to read for pleasure during term, but that hasn't kept me from thinking up loads of books I'd like to read and jotting down the titles in the back of my notebook. Here are some of them:
Founding Brothers - Joseph Ellis
Modern Art and the Death of a Culture - Hans Rookmaaker
How Long, O Lord? - Don Carson
Capitalism and the Protestant Work Ethic - Max Weber
Biography of Hitler
Something on the American War for Independence
Eichmann in Jerusalem - Hannah Arendt
True Spirituality - Francis Schaeffer
Biography of John D. Rockefeller
History of the American People - Paul Johnson
The Nature of Scientific Revolutions - Thomas Kuhn
Biography of the Beatles
The Tapestry and Hidden Art - Edith Schaeffer
The Pleasures of God - John Piper
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
Don't expect to do more than scratch the surface of this list during the Easter vac - but I'm thinking of it as an ever-expanding lifetime project.

That's a good list. Esp the bios of Hitler and the Beatles. They would be very interesting.
When is your Easter vacation??
Easter vac runs 11 March - 22 April. Oxford holidays are brilliant!
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh *squeals excitedly* did Mel tell you what she got me for my birthday--Narrative Poems, by C.S. Lewis!!!! I've read one of them (Lancelot) and i really liked it.
Do tell if you read Modern Art and the Death of a Culture. I have yet to settle these questions for myself and would enjoy a discussion.
