    I love how you put the New Testament first. I always begin the year with the Old Testament, so I end of course with the New. But, I’ve been quite pleased with myself for having read through the Bible almost ten years in a row. (I don’t want this to be a prideful thing, though.:) Do you have a favorite translation? I usually use the NIV, but it’s nice to read a different translation on a different year.

    Oops! I just saw that you LISTENED to the New Testament; disregard the question in my first comment. :) I should have read farther down first.

    I listened to only parts of it and read the rest. I use the NIV.

    I’ve been wanting to read Coraline and The Book Thief for a while, and now you’ve reminded me that I want to reread Fahrenheit 451… so many books to read :)
