Marvin Olasky’s 100 favorite books from the last seven years of treadmill reading.

His list is mostly nonfiction; I’ve read three of them:
J. Budziszewki—How to Stay Christian in College (NavPress, 2004)
Philip Caputo—Acts of Faith (Knopf, 2005) Semicolon review here.
Lauren F. Winner—Girl Meets God (Algonquin, 2003) Semicolon review here.

I see several others on Mr. Olasky’s list that I’d like to read —someday.

NEWS from the UK: “Tori Amos, the singer, . . . is collaborating with dramatist Samuel Adamson on a hoped-for production of The Light Princess, George MacDonald’s story (which was illustrated by Maurice Sendak) about a princess cursed by a witch.” Sounds interesting.

Book-burning? Ah, but as a protest, it’s acceptable.

50 Books That Defined the Twentieth Century. Guardian and The Book Marketing Society list four, five, or six books per decade. The 1920’s rate seven books. I’ve read twelve of the twenty, and four out of seven for the 1920’s. Maybe the twenties were better.
