    Regarding your love of philosophy I’m surprised not to see R. C. Sproul on your list of stuff you like to read?

      Haven’t really spent any time with him. They didn’t feature him in my philosophy program at UCI. :)

      But seriously, I mostly lump Sproul in with the theologians. He’s good, but there is a long list of good authors I haven’t read yet.

    The endless list of people who you’ve heard good things about but haven’t really explored yourself. If only there were more hours in a day. It’s 1AM at the moment and I’m still reading a dozen different articles.
    If I could recommend one writer for you to explore if you haven’t already it’d be James White. He’s got plenty of books on a range of topics and a podcast/articles available over at aomin.org if you don’t have the time for books ATM.
