The books I read in 2008. This is actually missing two of them, as my dad has The Glorious Cause by Jeff Shaara and Ben has Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown.
The 1st LEED Gold new library in New Hampshire, the Kilton Public Library is a demonstration of sustainable strategies – both sustainable energy solutions and sustainable library planning principles. A unique combination of building technologies created a library that is energy efficient and operates without consuming fossil fuels:
- ground source heat pumps
- a Biomass boiler with featured wood pellet silo,
- radiant floor slabs throughout,
- automated daylighting controls (sun shades plus artificial illuminationlevels)
- occupancy sensor lighting in bookstacks

Unique Read — Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is probably one of most interesting and unique reads I have read. Ransom Riggs’ use of vintage photographs in the story is really what drew me to the book. The book itself and story is also very beautiful. Definitely one of my favorite reads.
As the shelves empty and the library closes its doors, we all file through and mourn the silence.

Books for a class I might be taking on the French Roman Catholic theologian Henri de Lubac. It will be taught by Pastor John. The Prayer book by von Balthasar isn't a part of the class, though, but it's a book we're going to hopefully be reading at our church in small groups.
- The Theology of Henri de Lubac, by Hans Urs von Balthasar
- The Drama of Atheist Humanism, by Henri de Lubac
- Prayer, by Hans Urs von Balthasar
- Catholicism: Christ and the Common Destiny of Man, by Henri de Lubac
- The Suspended Middle: Henri de Lubac and the Debate concerning the Supernatural, by John Milbank
- The Mystery of the Supernatural, by Henri de Lubac

The books flow in an out, as I weed out the ones I didn't like and reread the ones I did.
The Time Traveller's Wife is one of the top five books I've read this year. Don't be discouraged by its SciFi theme - it's a beautiful love story.
Thud was really good. I'm always surprised that Pratchett manages to keep the watch line of his books interesting after so many titles.
The Thunderbolt Kid was such a great read that I bought Neither here Nor there right away. I haven't finished that yet, I switched books about halfway.
Pornopung is a book I never got to read when I was in Norway, and bought on my last day there in the hopes that it would make good reading on the plane. That's the only time I've read in it, I wasn't too thrilled.
The Undercover Economist was an impulse buy on the airport, because I loved Freakonomics. I was two chapters into it when I found Thud! and switched, but this one I'll finish.
I've read Cradle earlier, but couldn't remember much about it. A few pages into it I remember that it was far from being my favourite Clarke book, and I tossed it aside.

I've seen several people lately post pics of their summer reading stack. Since I am out of ideas today, I will borrow from them. First up for consumption is The Help since it is for a book club. The others are all suggestions from friends or family.
Yum. Books.
