School books

One of my favorite things to do in the winter is to read. I read all sorts of books ranging from histories of Greece and Rome, fantasy such as Artemis Fowl, Lord of the Rings, and Eragon. Also I enjoy  novels like Tom sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and the Henty books. With each book I learn something new and fascinating.

Here is a list of books I am currently reading for school.

 

TAKING BACK ASTRONOMY By Jason Lisle, This book is from a Christian stand point and tells how scientific discoveries in space actually support creationism and show the flaws in many of the evolutionist theories.

 

WORLD WAR 1 By Brigadier General S.L.A Marshall, This is a fascinating account of the First World War vividly describing all the major battles and events from the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in1914 to the final peace treaty of 1919 and everything in-between.

 

UNDAUNTED COURAGE By Stephen E. Ambrose This book tells the story of the famous Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the northwestern territories recently acquired by the U.S in the Louisiana Purchase.

 

AMERICA AND VIETNAM By Albert Marrin In this book you will find plenty of information about the war that proved to be the most controversial war in American history and the war that divided us most.

 

THE HINDENBURG By Michael M. Mooney The Hindenburg was one of the greatest air disasters of all times and this book gives a behind the scenes account of the last voyage of this flying monstrosity.

  Well here they are and they are just my school books. As a just for fun read I am going through Homers original Iliad. Our family  has bought up several copies of Hamlet and we plan to read thought it this month each taking parts. I am hoping I can be Hamlet or the Ghost of his father.
