Here's a simple list of what I'm currently reading. These may not end up as an abstract outline (see table below).

• The Rage Against God (Peter Hitchens)
• The Journey From Texts to Translation: The Origin and Development of the Bible (Paul D. Wegner)
• Salem Witch Judge (Eve Laplante)
• Kill the Witches! An Account of the Tryals of Several Witches Lately Executed in New-England (Cotton Mather)
• Countering the Claims of Evangelical Feminism (Wayne Grudem)
• Biblical Words and Their Meaning (Moises Silva)
• Love Wins (Rob Bell) -- Not an endorsement of this book (see my 2011 sermon series on the deadly error of universal salvation)
• Pilgrim's Progress (John Bunyan) -- Reading with my daughter
• The History of the German-Swiss Reformation (Merle D'Aubigne)
• Integrative Theology (Gordon Lewis, Bruce Demarest)
• The Bible -- I shoot for 7 chapters per day in reading through the Bible 2x per year

Years ago I began a practice of outlining books or articles that were significant enough that I wanted to be able to retain as much of the information as possible. For example, I will start reading with a pen in hand, underlining as I go. Once I finish a chapter, I open my wordprocessor and put together a detailed outline of what I read. The outline generally will include annotations, direct quotations, and my comments. Then I go on to read the next chapter, outlining each one until I'm finished. When I'm done with a book I might have as many as 50 pages of notes on it. This exercise helps me retain what I have read. I also can go back at a later date and review my notes to refresh my memory of what I have studied. Interested readers can peruse my notes as a digest and review.
