In Matthew Kelly's book, "The Rhythm of Life", there's a section where Kelly explains how much he enjoys reading and how much he has gotten out of certain books in his life. He continues to say that every person should have a "Top 30" books in their collection--30 books that you can read over and over again and always get something out of, 30 titles that should always stay at the forefront of your memory.
So, I decided to take him up on that. I want this list to be constantly changing and evolving, but here we go with a preliminary as of 4/5/10 (and there's no particular order for books in this list, that would be too complicated and un-necessary:
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder
The Lamb's Supper: Mass as Heaven on Earth by Scott Hahn
A Father Who Keeps His Promises by Scott Hahn
Lord, Have Mercy by Scott Hahn
Hail, Holy Queen by Scott Hahn
First Comes Love by Scott Hahn
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
New Orleans Mourning by Julie Smith
Chiefs by Stuart Woods
Born in Blood and Fire (Latin America Book)
Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace
The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons
More to come later...
