The Third Revelation by Ralph McInerney

A theological thriller about alleged secret passages of the Third Secret of Fatima that the Church has failed to reveal. It's a good read, and a more reasonable take on the "theological conspiracy" genre than Da Vinci Code, if you like that sort of thing.

The Tyranny of Liberalism by James Kalb

Subtitled "Understanding and Overcoming Administered Freedom,  Inquisitorial Tolerance, and Equality by Command."

The title sounds like it will be a screed, but this book is a really outstanding, measured criticism of liberal thought (in the original meaning of the term) and how it inevitably developed into an assault on the freedom it was supposed to defend.


The Ego Tunnel by Thomas Metzinger

This is subtitled "The Science of the Mind and the Myth of the Self."
Another in the series of books that basically tell the same story:  Science has proven that the mind is nothing but the brain making models, and the self is an illusion.
