Sara Wheeler: Too Close to the Sun: The Audacious Life and Times of Denys Finch Hatton
If you enjoyed Isak Dinesen's Out of Africa, and the movie, and you love biography, you'll love this book. Wheeler is a fabulous writer.
Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality
An emergent church version of Augustine's Confessions ... Good easy read, can be funny, perhaps tries too hard to be cool.
