Now that the semester is done, I intend to finish reading the segment that was not assigned in class.
Off to a great start (with the pick up) where Bavinck discusses the Covenant of Grace.

I am actually behind on my reading as I place this page number. I had a busy weekend. I should finish this tomorrow. 😅

The treatment and analysis seems short in comparison to looking at the similar “polytheistic stories”.

I really don’t buy the hypothetical conversations in this book. It’s is highly illusionary. I wish that he could have quoted these in practice.

So glad I pushed through this time. The books beginning is very slow and lacks the feeling of a believable adventure. Once Bilbo begins to learn how to be a burglar that’s when the story begins to really pick up. It’s does make you think, “Why was Peter Jackson doing?”

This is the another attempt of many at trying to get through the Hobbit. It’s a fantasy classic that I have *never* been able to get through. Today I made it further than previous attempts. My consistent struggle with reading Tolkien remains the same. However, a recent friend suggested that I read Tolkien as a “world builder” and not as a novelist. Here goes something!

Chapter 4 has been the best chapter by far, but this book is simply too repetitive at times.

I read the required pages for class earlier this semester. My plan is to finish this volume over Christmas break.

As a part of my continued readings of Lovecraft, I have seen this particular short story recommend several times. I gave this a brief read to at least get started with it.

This is my second read through of BNTG to really solidify my Greek grammar. I already have thoughts about this volume, but I will save that for the review upon finishing the second read through.
