You should be really proud.<br /> I wrote a book a couple of years ago and they printed 500 copies of which 400 sold (mostly to libraries) and probably about 10 have been read. If we want to reach people with our theology then blogs like this (although very few are of this quality) are an infinitely more effective way to do it. <br />Now, how do we convince tenure review committees of this? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-55026886792269659122009-06-21T01:44:34.251-04:002009-06-21T01:44:34.251-04:00Dear Ben,

I don't mind admitting that I've tried to read The Clockwork Orange several times, and each time have given up because of the language barrier: my eye simply takes too long to absorb the meaning of the text, and I can't see the wood for the trees. This despite others telling me what the book is all about and how I ought to read it. So thanks for providing me with a way in.<br /><br />Yours - JOHN HARTLEY.John Hartleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-61591711654584108092009-06-20T14:46:39.404-04:002009-06-20T14:46:39.404-04:00Any of the Harry Potter's with Jim Dale; SE Hi...Any of the Harry Potter's with Jim Dale; SE Hinton's Rumble Fish (or The Outsiders...Rumble Fish is more sentimental to me, though); and I had a really good Isaac Asimov audio book, but I can't remember which one...you can find some good ones, though with Asimov himself and William Shattner!!
