What is your long Kindle book?

Everyone should have a long book on their Kindle that they otherwise would never read.  Then, when you don’t feel like starting a whole new book on your Kindle, you dig into a small piece of your long book.  And stop.  As the years pass, you may eventually finish your long book (or not).

The long book on my Kindle is John Calvin’s The Institutes of the Christian Religion.  It’s impressive.  I don’t agree with Calvin, either theologically or temperamentally, but he is an extremely sharp thinker and writer, too often neglected for his extreme “Calvinism.”

After three years, I’m about eighteen percent finished.  And someday I hope to read more works by Calvin, although not someday anytime soon.
