Beth is starting Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
I am thinking the book is kind of repetitive. He does mention that the puritan tradition is to take one verse and write volumes about it, which it feels like is what he is doing here.

Beth is starting The New Copernicans: Millennials and the Survival of the Church
This guy really loves metaphors. I can easily see that this book could be half as long if he would just write what he wants to say without using an introductory metaphor for each chapter and each concept. I’m not sure what generation he is writing TO, but this member of the millennial generation (me) thinks it would be better if he got to the point.

Beth is starting Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City
Not what I expected. The contents of the first half include a lot of explanation of how the author came to his conclusions. It resembles the methods section of a research paper but is a much easier read.

I shouldn’t have gone with dystopian fiction. Real life is dystopian enough at the moment...

Beth is on page 200 of 511 of The Jewish War
For some reason I didn't think a book called "The Jewish Wars" would only be about Jewish wars. So far, it is.
