Summer readings thus far...

As surprising as this may be for those who think I don't read these days, here are the books I've actually read since school got out, the best by far being the short novel Manalive by Chesterton:



Jean Grimshaw, Philosophy and Feminist Thinking (1986)



John Taylor Gatto, The Underground History of American Education: A School Teacher's Intimate Investigation into the Problem of Modern Schooling (2000)



G.K. Chesterton, Saint Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox (1933)



G.K. Chesterton, Manalive (1912)



Steven E. Rhoads, Taking Sex Differences Seriously (2004)



Peter H. Spader, Scheler's Ethical Personalism: Its Logic, Development, and Promise (2002)



John F. Crosby, Personalist Papers (2003)
