I just finished Will and Spirit by Gerald May, a commitment of careful reading.  I took a year and a half to read it slowly while reading other things.  Here’s a list of the ten books in my current pile.  I’m holding the ones with asterisks now:

1. The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok
2. Blacks by Gwendolyn Brooks*
3. The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
4. Exploring Prosperity Preaching by Debra Mumford*
5. Lying Awake by Mark Salzman*
6. Faith in the Fire by Gardner C. Taylor*
7. Mothers and Sons by Colm Toibin
8. An Altar In The World by Barbara Brown Taylor
9. Allah: A Christian Response by Miroslav Volf
10. A Happy Marriage by Rafael Yglesias

Any recommendations for me, particularly for novels, short story collections, memoirs, or psychology and theology?

And what are you reading?
