The Art of the Deal is recommended reading.

you should get John Donne's poetry and prose
he was actually a cleric
you need Augustine's Confessions & The City of God, and you should pick up the Hackett two volume "Basic Writings of Thomas Aquinas"

Have you read The Seven Storey Mountain?

John Donne's poetry and prose, gotcha.

I just started getting into reading; I've read Augustine's Confessions. Coincidentally, I just checked out a book containing both Confessions and The City of God! lol

I'll check out Hackett; A Secular Age, I'd look at that too anon thanks!

Plebbest question.

-Main reason: Most of the books I read are not avaible for ereaders
-You can't underline and take notes
-You can't check several books at the same time

But if you are a reddit, housewife, or hipster a kindle is a good idea for reading shit like Murakami or Game of Thrones.
