Read in 2025, Goals for 2026



Every year, I set reading goals, and then keep a tally of books read.

Some of those goals include reading works by Chesterton, Tolkien, Lewis, etc, and books about him and them.

The tally for 2025 (76 works) included a number of such works:

The Poet and the Lunatics by G. K. Chesterton
The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton
The Surprise by G. K. Chesterton
The Judgement of Dr. Johnson by G. K. Chesterton 

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Tolkien’s Faith: A Spiritual Biography by Holly Ordway

The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club by Dorothy Sayers
Have His Carcase by Dorothy Sayers

And related:

Descent Into Hell by Charles Williams
Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset
Catherine of Siena by Sigrid Undset
Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens

The goals for 2026 include:

A book by G. K. Chesterton I have not yet read
A book about G. K. Chesterton
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil by J. R. R. Tolkien
A book by C. S. Lewis, possibly a reread.
A book by Charles Dickens I have not yet read (Our Mutual Friend?)

I'm sure there will be more read. 

Onward!
