For the month of May I did not seem to be doing much reading outside of trying to catch up on some Bible reading for a family Bible study! Here is my short list for May:

Raising a Son-I am not actually done with this book yet, and may have to go back and re-read it! I purchased it at the thrift store just to read the chapter on teenaged boys. But after reading that chapter, I went back and am reading through the beginning of the book, though I may skip through the other stages of boyhood. This book is a HIT with me. Although there are some things I disagree with and sometimes get tired of some of the psychology of it, I have to say that most of it really applies to both my son and my husband. I can see so much of what they are saying being played out right in front of me that it is hard to dismiss much of the psychology! Although lots of things hurt, it seems to bring out some important points in raising boys (and living with men!)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button-My husband and I rented this movie. It was a HIT with both of us. I did enjoy the movie and now am wanting to find the original short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald to read.
