Recommended Reading Plans

“Books: don’t buy them without advice from a Christian who is learned and prudent…How often a man thinks he is carrying a book under his arm, and it turns out to be a load of rubbish!” – St. Josemaria Escriva

“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.” – Mortimer J. Adler.

Here are several lists that I regularly consult when making my own book choices:
