What's he reading?

I'll try to keep this page up to date so that others can know what I've read in 2025 (and you can see my past reading lists by going to "Various Views From Here" in the right column of the blog and clicking on Books, or on Lists. Or maybe you can find me on Goodreads to read my book ratings and reviews.

Apart from the books listed here, I read my Bible throughout the year. I believe the Bible is God's inspired Word to us, and of all the things I read, I see the Bible as what is most essential for me to be feeding on. Most of the postings I add to my blog are a result of my time spent reading God's Word.

With that in mind, here are the books that I've read thus far this year...
