I stole this idea from Justin Buzzard.
Now that my conscience is clean, here’s my list for this week.
My Top Five Fiction Reads:
1. Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky
2. Measure for Measure, Shakespeare (I know it’s a play, but still…)
3. Book of the Dun Cow, Walter Wangerin
4. The End of the Affair, Graham Greene
5. Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card
Honorable mention:
The Man Who Was Thursday, G.K. Chesterton, which I liked a lot more until I realized that it seems to be a parody of Reformed theology. A great read all the same, though.
Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton.
