Books
The Evelyn Wood Seven-Day Speed Reading and Learning Program
Submitted by amillar on Fri, 2006-01-27 09:48.I recently borrowed this book from a friend, and found it very useful. I was already a fairly fast reader, but I had never investigated "speed reading".
I found that by following these techniques, not only did I read faster, but my comprehension improved. The book covers speed reading techniques and also related improvements in study skills for students.

The Bible as History
Submitted by amillar on Mon, 2004-02-02 11:42.
Fascinating book comparing the Bible and archaeology.
First written in the 1950s and then updated in the 1980s, this book surveys many topics in the Bible and compares them to modern archaeological discoveries. From speculations on the flood to the manna of the Israelites, it covers a broad section of items which many people question about the Bible.
Latina Pro Populo
Submitted by amillar on Mon, 2004-02-02 11:39.
Latina Pro Populo, also titled Latin For People, is a good introduction to the Latin language.
It covers basic Latin grammar and vocabulary. While Latin is known (deservedly so) as a complex language, this book does a good job of providing the basics, allowing the reader to actually read and comprehend simple Latin sentences in just a short amount of time.
Anyone who is simply curious about Latin, without the desire to spend years of study just to read a sentence or two, would find this book to be a great starting place.
