The Great Gatsby
Not particularly exciting. Reading a book from back in the 1920s which repeatedly used the word "gay" got a little confusing
The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror
I'll rate this one as "meh". Worth reading if you haven't read a lot of stuff on the history of the Middle East, but otherwise not too much new.
Animal Farm
I caught a play adaptation of Orwell's 1984 earlier this year. Now it was time to read a little more Orwell. Overall a good read.
Ministries of Mercy
Tim Keller's first published book - more or less his doctoral thesis. It seemed a little more practical than his more recent book on this topic. Worth reading.
