Reddit reviews The Four Last Things: A Catechetical Guide to Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell

I read a lot. I was in elementary school in the 1970s and it was all the rage back then to train kids in gifted programs in speed-reading, which my school did. I was the fastest reader, in fact I got a talking-to for speeding up the machine because it was going too slowly for me. :| I still read very quickly.

Most of the books I read have to do with religion and spirituality, like The Weapon, Resistance, The Four Last Things. Right now I'm deep into St. Faustina's diary. It's extraordinary.

In fiction I love classic literature, novels and short stories. Jane Austen, J.D. Salinger, Nathaniel Hawthorne. I have a particular taste for 19th century French writers: Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Victor Hugo. They motivate me to improve my French.

In non-fiction, I read about dog training and health, business, human nutrition and health, history and politics. Anyone struggling with weight loss might want to check out Dr. Jason Fung's The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended - good info there.

Currently on my to-buy list:

• IQ and the Wealth of Nations
  
• In Command of History: Churchill Fighting and Writing the Second World War
  
• The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left
  
• Padre Pio: Man of Hope
  
• 
  A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History
  
• 
  The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise
  
  I prefer paper books, they are dependable and unchanging. Ebooks may or may not be there later and you never know how they've been changed, or by whom.
  
  I don't think any of that has to do with being an INTP necessarily, except maybe having a range of interests.
