I skimmed enough to find it intelligent and amusing, and will probably go back at leisure to read more extensively. I took off Chesterton, but kept Lewis, for my latest version of the list. I am honestly trying to hold in mind all serious suggestions, criticisms, and arguments, but I still am not sure what the final form will be.....I am a modernist, but I love Chesterton, because he was good at critiquing the corrosive elements in modernity, and the challenge of finding continuity with tradition. I think he has meant alot, certainly in the development of Anglo-American conservatism, which brought us Ronald Reagan, the end of the Cold War, and a renewed concern with morality. However, I will, for the time being, take him off the table, and ponder whether or not I think he finally qualifies by the criterion of influence.....
