Reading
Without reading, one cannot write or understand the human condition. To that end, I've collected a list of nearly 700 books I want to read before I shed my moral coil. These titles, which I've developed over several years from more than a dozen different sources, represent the "great" books – books that are important for what they represent to the Judaeo-Christian Western worldview (even if some of the books hail from non-Western sources).
What's represented, below, is only a fraction of what I have/will read over a lifetime.
The following list is more digestible if you download the CSV and sort/filter according to your heart's content.
My Great Books
This static but comprehensive list is sorted by era, then category, then culture, then author, then title.
