Waiting for a warm day

Happy New Year!

Travel schedules and weather patterns (cold!) have combined to pitch a shutout the past few weeks. I'm hopeful to be on the water this weekend - but the forecast has 25+ mph winds. Sigh.

What do to when you cannot fish and just can't get interested in another football game? FWIW here's my reading list from 2007 (plus today). As I look over the list I am surprised by how little I have read... and then when I reflect on the year, surprised that I found time at all. In order of completion:

Khald Hosseini, "The Kite Runner"
Chaim Potok, "In the Beginning"
Robert B. Chisholm, Jr., "Interpreting the Historical Books"
Richard Bachmann [Stephen King], "Blaze"
Mark Winegardner, "The Godfather Returns"
Samuel Terrien, "Till the Heart Sings"
Richard Bachmann [Stephen King], "The Long Walk"
J.K. Rowling, "Harry Potter and the Deathley Hallows"
Stephen King, "Needful Things"
Frank McCourt, "Teacher Man"
Marilynne Robinson, "Gilead"
Michael Chabon, "The Amazing Adventuresof Kavalier & Clay"
Gale Yee, "Poor Banished Children of Eve: Woman as Evil in the Hebrew Bible"
Philip Roth, "The Plot Against America"
Jon Krakauer, "Into Thin Air"
Patrick Miller, "The Way of the Lord: Essays in OT Theology"
Stephen King, "Misery"

Go for the analysis - I'm sure the reading list says something about my warped character.
