Definitely some interesting titles, Aron. I’ve added some to my wishlist – thanks for the recommendations. I have Noll’s Search for Christian America on my summer reading list, but don’t think I’ll read half a dozen on the topic like you. One will probably be enough for me! Any fiction on the horizon for you?
I do have some fiction on the list…but surprisingly little, now that you’ve pointed it out to me. I’ll have to remedy that; there are plenty of classics I’ve never read (Melville, Dickens, etc.). Thanks for the note!
