Booklog (Apr. 29th – Jul. 19th)

  • The Defendant by G.K. Chesterton: Witty and jovial, really fun.
  • 1969: The Year Everything Changed by Rob Kirkpatrick: Disappointing. The flailing, frantic collection of anecdotes (with precious little meaningful analysis) gets frustrating after 20-30 pages.
  • Judas and the Gospel of Jesus: Have We Missed the Truth about Christianity? by N.T. Wright: Helpful, witty.
  • JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford: Handy.
  • Realty Check: Real Estate Secrets for First-Time Canadian Home Buyers by Sandra Rinomato: Not very good, though there were some useful aspects.
  • Not George Washington by P.G. Wodehouse: Never really “got” this one
  • Hedgemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky:  Conservatives and libertarians shouldn’t shrink away from reading this challenging book (there are problems in Noam’s presuppositions, biases, and conclusions–but his analysis of what is going on is actually quite helpful if you take some of it with a grain of salt).
  • The Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel The Main Thing by C.J. Mahaney: Excellent, but too short!
