Another 16 books finished over the course of April-June. Four more audiobooks (all histories of sorts), two old favorites, and a few others. Here’s the rundown:

Devotions: The Word in the Wilderness by Malcolm Guite; The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

History: The Byzantine Rite: A Short History by Robert F. Taft; The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson; Thunderstruck by Erik Larson; Fascinating Footnotes from History by Giles Milton; How the Scots Invented the Modern World by Arthur Herman; Rebel Cinderella by Adam Hochschild

Nonfiction (other): Safe Church by Andrew Baumann (CAUTION: this one got the heretical nonsense stamp but a friend asked me to read it, so I did); What Does It Mean to be Protestant? by Gavin Ortlund; The Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook (Farmer’s Almanac); Strange New World by Carl Trueman; C.S. Lewis: A Life by Alister McGrath

Fiction: A Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters; Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis; The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis

    Fascinating Footnotes sounds interesting. I’ve been reading hard boiled crime fiction from the 1960s, the Parker novels by “Richard Stark,” and The Harlem Detectives series by Chester B Himes. I tried to corrupt our mutual friend, Mr Shank, with the Parker novels, but was too late. There is a new book, The Final Triumph of God. The author, whose name I don’t remember, has recently been a guest for two hour long programs on the YouTube channel, “Anglican Aesthetics,” and I strongly recommend that everyone watch those videos.
