I'm about 70% through it, and it's just great. I never thought I'd say it, but I prefer him to Tolstoy.

I've also been reading The Fellowship, which chronicles the legendary Inklings, a literary group that counted CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien among its members. I'm about a quarter of the way through it, and they're still giving biographical background to its members. It's quite thorough.

On occasion, I read theological/philosophical pieces from Chesterton. I went through most of his major works, and am now reading through "What's Wrong with the World".

Starting the PhD program in the Fall, so this is the end of the line for "fun" reading for this guy. And just in time for Norm MacDonald's book to come out too. Pity.
