Harry Turtledove
Ahhh
@Quarantine_Zone I'm reading orthodoxy every now and then
I (should be) am reading the 7 Ecumenical Councils
It's a very detailed and dry book
I'm slowly working through Orthodoxy
I want to read "Heretics" next
I never read Chesterton
Then I'm going to move onto Tolkein and Lewis
I have read Lewis
He's essential to understanding Lewis and Tolkein on a deeper level
Lewis is excellent
And astoundingly eccumenical without compromising his Anglican beliefs
>tfw have 65+ books
He has an Eastern view of Sin
In unread pile
I'll check it out on my PC
Underlined books are unread or in progress. Books not underlined are books I've finished in the past year
I should add my pile
It's 65+ books of history
Theology
Military theory/history/memoir
And sci fi
Should be able to view now
I assume that was you that requested access
It's connected to my school email which is weird sometimes when sharing Google docs
I'm going to copy and paste to a different account and reshare
@Arkona 92 If you want a really cool East book. Pratum Spirituale by Moschos is excellent
John Wortley's edition is exceedingly thorough on footnotes too to explain context, translation choice, and manuscript choice.
Moschos trained Patriarch Sophronius of Jerusalem who was very important for the 5th council.
Chesterton is peak just by virtue of how fun he is to read, idk what it is about his style but it just makes me smile
I enjoyed Orthodoxy a lot, been a long time since I've read consistently so I don't remember most of it, but it's one of those books where I know it influenced my thinking a lot even if I can't name the specifics anymore
@Quarantine_Zone it was me that requested access.
When I get off work, I'll compile a Google docs of all my unread, currently reading and what I want (if I have time for that)
The only time I got exposed to Chesterton was in HS when a girl did "Man who was Thursday" and made the whole class read excerpts of it
In that class, I made people turn away from Lord of the Flies
I recently saw a production of The Surprise by a local theatre group.
Was very good.
Definitely recommend Chesterton, especially to Catholics (who he was writing for in the first place). Man had a way with words, especially in his theological work.
