Read any good books lately?

What are United Methodists reading these days? It seems like I have been "waiting" more than usual over the past several months - whether at the doctor's office, or during my children's orthodontist appointments, at the airport, in the carpool line, or on the porch awaiting the arrival of friends and relatives for a visit. I've had a pile of books on my desk forever that I've wanted to read but never seemed to have the time. However, by having a book in the car - I find that there is more time available for me to read while "waiting," and I'm at least exercising my mind if not my body during those moments.

Some of the books that are currently being discussed:
