So, I finished reading the bible. It was pretty intense, pretty amazing, and it was helpful in a way that I don't know myself capable of really explaining. Now, however, I'm stuck deciding between all the books that I learned of and didn't read when I was busy reading the bible. So, what books should I take to L'Abri?

Read some other Wendell Berry before you reread Jayber Crow. "Hannah Coulter" is wonderful, and "the memory of Old Jack" is another really great you.
Not to sound like a broken record here, but: Read "the sickness unto death" or . . . any other Kierkegaard book. "Works of love" is incredible, and "fear and trembling" is . . . very thought provoking and difficult to understand.
The Brothers Karamazov is really good. But also long.
You should read Pilgrim's Regress: it's kind of (only slightly) like Desiring God, but... a novel. I love it because of the way Lewis examines different belief systems and shows Christianity to be the only one that makes us right, in accord with our natures and the nature of the world.
I know this is late, by try out
