Turned Around by Peter Kwasniewski

 A defense of the Catholic Latin Mass against objections, especially as compared to the New Mass. Excellent.

Three Inch Teeth by C.J. Box

 Latest in the Joe Pickett series. Pretty formulaic by now but I still enjoy the series.

Immortal Souls by Edward Feser

 Thorough exposition of philosophical anthropology along the lines of St. Thomas Aquinas. Excellent.

Mania by Lionel Shriver

 Shriver's latest novel. This one is an "alternative history" of the last 10 years, where a Mental Parity mania takes over the country that denies that there are any intelligence differences between people. Naturally bad things result. Not her best novel.

Return of the strong Gods by R.R. Reno

 Excellent analysis of the cultural, political and religious situation of the West since WW2. The strong gods are things like God, family and nation.

Marathon Man by William Goldman

 One of my favorite movies and a good book as well.

Storm Watch by C.J. Box

 Another entry in the Joe Pickett series. The stories have gotten somewhat formulaic, but it's a pretty good formula. Box also weaves timely topics into his stories, in this case Game Warden Pickett gets involved with Bitcoin miners. Go figure.
