Just a good read

  1. Power of the Powerless by Christopher de Vinck. Read more here.
  2. To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
  3. The Chosen, Chaim Potok
  4. Cry, the Beloved Country, Alan Paton
  5. The Jacobite Trilogy, D.K. Broster – “The novels that immortalized the 1745 Jacobite uprising” in Scotland.  Laced with high character values.
  6. The Pendragon Cycle, Stephen Lawhead (Taliesin, Merlin, Arthur, etc.) - a profoundly Christian rendering of these legends.  If you liked Lord of the Rings, you’ll love these.  (I’ll definitely read these again.)
  7. before I goLetters to Our Children about What Really Matters, Peter Kreeft.  You can read and excerpt here.

A link to some of Anthony Esolen’s writings: http://www.catholicity.com/commentary/esolen/ Professor Esolen, in my opinion, is always worth reading.  Not only does he have worthwhile things to say, he also writes well.

Check back periodically for more listings.

    I like your choices. Both The Chosen and The Promise by Potok are among my all-time favorites.
