Sorry, but I'm a sucker for lists of favorite books, or books that have influenced others. If a person is passionate about a book, it's worth noting to me, if only for what it reveals about the person. But sometimes a recommended book can open up undreamed of vistas in our own life as well. C.S. Lewis did that for me. Through him I became acquainted with Charles Williams, George MacDonald, G.K. Chesterton, and numerous others. And through them, still others. This particular list cites books that have influenced various conservative writers. It's not as extensive a list as I have seen elsewhere, but worth noting none the less. Paul Johnson's Modern Times appears more than once, as does Whittaker Chambers' Witness.
