365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.

The Quran
Today is the first day of Ramadan. It seems fitting to include Islam's holy book. This English-only copy is a new translation by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan.
"All praise is due to God, the Lord of the Universe; the Beneficent, the Merciful; Lord of the Day of Judgement. you alone we worship, and to You alone we turn for help. Guide us to the straight path."
- Sura 1

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics
In honor of Heather Momand, who is reading Mere Christianity for the first time. C.S. Lewis has profoundly influenced me from childhood to adolescents to adulthood. He writes the truth in all it's severity.
This compilation includes:
Mere Christianity - This one alone perhaps qualifies Lewis as a modern church father.
The Screwtape Letters -Always new. Spiritual warfare is never more compelling than in the narrative style of a personal correspondence. I've read it twice and still look forward to the next reading.
The Great Divorce - Still working on this one
The Problem of Pain - Ouch, talk about convicting
Miracles -Yet to read
A Grief Observed - Raw.Must read for all who wish to walk alongside those who are grieving.
The Abolition of Man - Hm, not gotten to this one either. Bring it!
