Summer Reading List

The summer solstice is fast approaching and that means it is high time to craft one of the critical documents of my liturgical year-the summer reading list.

Malcolm Gladwell: The Tipping Point
Wendell Berry: A Place on Earth
Citizenship Papers
The Way of Ignorance
Umberto Eco: A History of beauty
Garrison Keiller: Lake Wobegon Days
Thomas Cahill: How the Irish Saved Civilization
Ched Meyers: Who Will Roll Away the Stone?
Annie Dillard: The Writing Life
Leslie Newbiggen: The Gospel in a Pluralist Society
Jean Vanier: Becoming Human
Wallace Stegner: The Spectator Bird
Dallas Willard: The Divine Conspiracy
Michel Foucault: Madness and Civilization
