Open books
William F. Lynch: Christ and Apollo: The Dimensions of the Literary Imagination
Why should Harry Potter die? Here's why.
Owen Barfield: Poetic Diction: A Study in Meaning (Wesleyan Paperback)
A single proof that poetry possesses a closer grasp of the world than does science. Well, real poetry, that is.
Wendell Berry: The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry
Local economies, farming communities, family integrity, things agrarian and a kind of conservatism that has been raptured from the goblin world of politics.
Robert M. Grant: Irenaeus of Lyons (The Early Church Fathers)
Irenaeus was the great teacher against the Gnostics. Seems rather current now.
Roger Scruton: An Intelligent Person's Guide to Modern Culture
He is not inscrutable (couldn't resist). I hesitated to post this yucky title because of its smelly hoity-toity-ness. But the book is a commodious overview of society as is, and of the whereabouts of the devil's party.
Richard M. Weaver: Ideas Have Consequences
Well, if we are all Odysseus (as Joyce seems to think), Weaver is certainly our Tiresias, whose dour but sagacious prophecies are marching up out of the surf every year.
G. K. Chesterton: Orthodoxy
After reading this, who can deny that Orthodoxy is perilous, exciting, and downright intimidatingly grand to the benighted modernists? They can only run, surrender, or change the language.- Metropolitan Hierotheos Vlachos: Orthodox Psychotherapy
"To anyone far from God the whole man is obscure and unknown." There is a lot more contained in the book title than one would think, especially a whole ecclesiology. 
P. G. Wodehouse: Life With Jeeves: The Inimitable Jeeves, Very Good, Jeeves!, and Right Ho, Jeeves
Hillaire Belloc, no less, said of Wodehouse that "he is the leader of my craft."- Lars Thunberg: Man and the Cosmos: The Vision of St. Maximus the Confessor
To be in the Church whose Tradition this Saint fought for, and thought for, is fundamentally obliging.
