So this last year I read forty-six books, which is one less than last year. Keeping it average! It also marks a decade since I started this blog, but I'll do another post about that in an hour or two. Let's get into the recap:
- a delightfully low-key graphic novel
- a remarkably minimal ancient Christian manual
- introductions to general & ethical philosophy
- some very solid & other very ethereal reflections on the nature of Christianity
- arguments for God from the head & the heart
- arguments for Christians from the scriptures & experience
- bad theology wrapped in middling prose
- good theology wrapped in excellent poetry
- the crisis of Earth & what to do about it as well as why that might prove legally-institutionally difficult, especially nowadays
- the autobiographical record of a shockingly Christlike man
- more & more of the Horus Heresy series
- J.R.R. Tolkien's manifesto, of sorts
- excellent writing advice from a prolific writer
- my dad's undergrad thesis
- the final book of a systematic theology series I've been working through
- a colourful portrait of perhaps the most humane writer Britain has produced in centuries
- orks, because they're fun
- a poetry collection that I can only describe as "umami flavour"
- short stories in Esperanto (yes, I'm trying to learn it, fuck you)
- feminist texts on female power, patriarchal accumulation, male lovelessness, and the limits of binary systems
- after a quick grounding in Christian orthodoxy, books on how we as disciples should relate to our own bodies, our present identities, our repentant identities, our ongoingly repentant identities, our approaches to justice, social media, creativity, and everything we've failed to notice...
Yeh, that's been my year of reading this last year gone. Here's to a whole new decade of reading whatever I want & saying whatever I want about doing so to a non-existent audience.
Peace & love
