Book Ideas for 2011

Here's my list of books that I may read this year.

Ones I have started last year (or earlier):
Humility and How to Get It by Charles Spurgeon

The Treasury of David: Volume 1 - Psalms 1-57 (I may not finish it this year, but that would be nice. I'm over half of the way through, but it's a long book.)

The Portable Patriot: Documents, Speeches, and Sermons That Compose the American Soul

Chronicles of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery

The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes Volume 02: Additional Poems (1837-1848)

Afterwhiles by James Whitcomb Riley

American Poetry, 1922 A Miscellany

The Bible And The Closet Or How We May Read The Scriptures With The Most Spiritual Profit: And Secret Prayer Successfully Managed (1842)

Ten P's in a Pod : A Million-Mile Journal of the Arnold Pent Family

A Woman's High Calling: 10 Essentials for Godly Living by Elizabeth George

The Pre-Tribulation Rapture by Alan Beechick

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

A Study in Scarlet / The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

An Autobiography of Buffalo Bill (Colonel W. F. Cody)

The Girl's Own Book by Lydia Maria Child (POSSIBLY this year--it's more of a reference book than a read-through)

Winslow Homer Watercolors by Helen A. Cooper (POSSIBLY this year--it's more of a reference book than a read-through)

Ones I started this year:
The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul
Lost City of the Incas by Hiram Bingham

Others to Read This Year, Possibly
The Betrayal: A Novel on John Calvin by Douglas Bond
Alone Yet Not Alone by Tracy Leininger Craven
Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper
In the Presence of My Enemies by Gracia Burnham
Passionate Housewives Desperate for God by Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald
The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom by Slavomir Rawicz
Verses of Virtue compiled by Elizabeth Beall Phillips

Classics:
Mansfield Park or Persuasion by Jane Austen

One of Dickens, perhaps
