Some recent books…

Some of the books I’m reading or have read in the last few months:

  • Boundaries – Cloud & Townsend – generally very helpful, a few reservations
  • Starcross – Philip Reeve – just riproaringly good fun
  • Fever Crumb – Philip Reeve – mostly good, but feels incomplete
  • Perelandra – C S Lewis – brilliant, an all-time favourite
  • According to Plan – Graeme Goldsworthy – useful Biblical theology overview
  • Jango – William Nicholson – very good
  • The Soul Winner – Charles Haddon Spurgeon – clear and challenging
  • Ethics: A Very Short Introduction – Simon Blackburn – patchy; his discussion of the Bible and ethics is just embarrassing
  • The Road to Reality – Roger Penrose – fascinating summary of “how the universe works”, requires a lot of concentration
  • Gilead – Marilynne Robinson – a heart-achingly sad and beautiful novel
  • The Complete Calvin & Hobbes – very sharp and funny
