I’m on a kick, putting together a library on my thumb drive of books I’ve downloaded from the net. And then working my way through it.

Right now, reading Belloc, Europe and the Faith, and Von Mises, Planned Chaos (its a short one, almost a pamphlet). One at lunch, the other at coffee.

Just finished Everlasting Man (Chesterton), Money and Credit (Von Mises again), and French Revolution (Edmund Burke). Its the copyright thing. Everything I’m reading is at least 80 years old...

"Just finished Everlasting Man (Chesterton)"

I've read it several times and get something new out of it each time. Perhaps I'm just a little slower on the uptake then most, but I would recommend going back a year or so from now and thumbing through it again :-) If you're like me, you'll find stuff that wasn't there your first time through.

It's the book CS Lewis credited for bringing him back to God.

I paid 70 euro for burgomeister’s entire library off
1200 books for kindle. And other readers. Best thing I ever bought.

One of my favorites. I also like 'Orthodoxy' by Chesterton.
