Here’s a sweet new thing: Canon Press now has an online library, courtesy of Google Books. (What is Google Books? Click here.) The library includes some of our own books which have been uploaded (thanks, Frank!), but primarily it’s a collection of books we’re fond of, for one reason or another. There are over 150 books in the Canon Press Library, and each one is available in full for online browsing (and searching!). Put these two together and for starters, you could—
1. Study Shakespeare using Brightest Heaven of Invention, plus the six plays Leithart analyzes.
2. Sate your wild desire to read Mother Kirk. (I know, it’s been out of print for too long…but have you seen the new cover?)
3. Start a book study for The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, Reforming Marriage, or Building Her House.
4. Get a start on the New St. Andrews reading list with The Seven Lamps of Architecture, Robinson Crusoe, On Rhetoric, Faust, or Plutarch’s Lives.
5. Laugh yourself silly reading The Mantra of Jabez.
6. Lull yourself to sleep reading Calvin’s Institutes.
7.Browse Book Tree recommends like Animal Farm, The Owl and the Pussycat, Treasure Island, or Anne of Green Gables.
Zoinks! Other titles you’ll want to watch for amongst the many: The Baptized Body, The Divine Comedy, Augustine’s Confessions, The Odyssey, For a Glory and a Covering, and Bondage of the Will. Have fun! (P.S. Go for the “cover view” option in the top right corner; it’s the best.)
