The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages
AuthorHarold Bloom
ISBN1573225142

Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther
AuthorRoland H. Bainton
ISBN0452011469
It's funny to think that the Protestant religion - today, at least, a moderate and forward-looking religion - is based on the writings of this man, one of the evilest human beings that ever lived.

ISBN0060956410
This review is for Peter.

This is both a review and a very short guide for those interested in jumping off the Latin cliff without a teacher. This is my first review on Goodreads, so please be gentle.

Meditations on First Philosophy: With Selections from the Objections and Replies (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)
AuthorRené Descartes
ISBN0521558182

René Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy is a book I picked up for two reasons.

I am currently undertaking one literature unit on the...
Luther: Biography of a Reformer
AuthorFrederick Nohl
