Interim started today. I’m taking War and Violence: Context, Cause, and Cure. It’s a philosophy class, and so it seems natural that we have to read 5 books. Here’s what’s on my list:

• Christian Attitudes Toward War and Peace by Roland H.Bainton


• The Horrors We Bless by Daniel C. Maguire


• No Future Without Forgiveness by Desmond Tutu


• Forgiveness in International Politics by William Bole, Drew Christiansen, Robert T. Hennemeyer


• The Morality of War by Brian Orend

In other subjects, I got some wonderful books for Christmas that I can’t get to dig in to. They’re mostly technology and design related, but should be highly interesting.

• The Mythical Man-Month by Federick P. Brooks, Jr.


• The Design of Everyday Things by Donald A. Norman


• Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman


• The Myths of Innovation by Scott Berkun


• Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass (thanks Dan!)

Ambitious? Perhaps, but I’ve got plenty of time to get through the techy ones. So, what’s on your bookshelf?
