Book-Spotting #8

Tootle’s Time surveys books on courtship and dating and recommends one of my favorites, Best Friends for Life by Michael and Judy Phillips.

Blest With Sons muses about being down in the valley with Bilbo Baggins.

Did you know that Harry Emerson Fosdick wrote some of the Landmark history books? Of course, this liberal preacher wrote the Landmark books on Jesus, Paul, and Martin Luther. Caveat emptor.

Ariel at Bittersweet Life really liked Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. As I recall, so did Eldest Daughter. I tried to read something by Annie Dillard last summer, but I couldn’t get into it. Too much nature, as I’m remembering it. I probably should try again since I hear so many good things about her writing. I do sometimes misplace parts of my brain. Sometimes I even find them again

  1. Re: Dillard–The Writing Life is a great place to start with her. Short, pithy, and pretty representative of her writing.

  2. I haven’t been crazy about much Annie Dillard that I’ve read, but I loved her memoir about growing up in Pittsburgh, “An American Childhood.” Wonderful.
