So, as usual I have way too many books on my to-read list and I've decided to throw a few out there and let my readers (all 4 of you I'm sure) to choose my next read for me. Please post your choice via a comment. I'll read the one with the most votes and then write a general review when I'm finished. Also, when I get it and see how dense it is I'll post choices for a timeline for me to finish it that everyone can vote on as well.
Indecisive much? I think yes.
1. Breaking the spell : religion as a natural phenomenon

2.National dreams : myth, memory, and Canadian history

3.The ascent of money : a financial history of the world

4.The Aryan Jesus : Christian theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany

5.Private history in public : exhibition and the settings of everyday life

6.Boys in the pits : child labour in coal mines

7.Kiss the kids for dad, don't forget to write : the wartime letters of George Timmins, 1916-18.

9. The Lord for the body : religion, medicine, and Protestant faith healing in Canada, 1880-1930. James Opp. 2005.

I think the 9th and 10th books you list are my decision although I think you would like the 2nd and 5th
ReplyDeletethe ascent of money I just read and I think you will find exceedingly dull... even I did. A HISTORY OF MARRIAGE gets my vote, I think you will throughly enjoy that one
