Here’s a look at mine:
If you can’t see all the titles, they are:
- Sex and Money: Pleasures That Leave You Empty and Grace That Satisfies by Paul Tripp
- Saving Eutychus by Gary Millar and Phil Campbell
- What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur’an by James R. White
- The Mystery Of The Lord’s Supper by Robert Bruce
- The Imputation of Adam’s Sin by John Murray
What’s on your to-read pile?
Aaron — I’m curious to know whether or not you have any particular method for selecting the books that you’ll read. I appreciated the advice by Tone Reinke to form a plan for your reading, because I find that if I don’t, I’ll read exclusively “new” books. (This is mainly because the blogs I follow tend to review new, not old, books.) But I heartily believe in the C.S. Lewis advice to avoid chronological snobbery. Any particular advice here?
This is actually something I’ve had trouble with in the past. I try to be really intentional about reading one older book a month, if not more.
C.S. Lewis’ explicit advise on reading was to not allow yourself another new book until you read an old one. And if you do not have the time for both, read the old.
