David Bentley Hart: The Idea of God: Being, Consciousness, and Bliss
Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and its Fashionable Enemies (These 2 suggestions, as suggestions, are dedicated to you, O Deacon, with tongue firmly in cheek to list. Tho' Hart is very literate, very well studied, very fun to read; he suffereth not fools gladly (which always makes for good reading, hearing fools put in their places); and in fact he is praised by the more literate atheists as "you gotta know this if you're gonna refute it.") Like the fall of Lucifer, from the sublime to the ridiculous: There's a new Lee Child icumen in. Pure, retarded, male wish fulfillment fantasy. In this line, retarded too, but by no means male: Thrice the Binded Cat Hath Mewed, the latest Flavia Sabina de Luce mystery. (If this is a male's wish fulfillment fantasy, said male is in trouble). Bike content: she has a BSA Keep Fit named Gladys. https://elliottwithlove.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/bicycling-tips-from-the-world-of-flavia-de-luce/ A fall, but not The Fall: The Essential GK Chesterton (free! from Kindle or perhaps it's Gutenberg. In partic, his little, topical books on (against) Eugenics, back when the literati and progressives were pushing it; Prussian-type organizational efficiency; capitalism (he disliked Socialism, but he truly hated Capitalism); Man Who Was Thursday; and of course the entire Father Brown corpus; still respected lit crit and bios.) Hillbilly Elegy, J D Vance (very well written account of the decay of working class white America) Matthew Crawford: The World Outside Your Head (extrapolations and expansions on the Shop Class as Soulcraft ideas; and more motorcycles!) Crawford is that amazing niche impossibility: a popular writer, well received, writing on contemporary problems, who is actually an Aristotelian/Stoic philosopher *-- who writes well!!!* An academic who writes well is a miracle as great as the loaves and fishes! Back to the celestial: Chartres, the Birth of a Cathedral, Titus Burkhardt (a picture book with commentary that is bar-none).
