What is a stack? Books you're currently reading? How do people read 5+ wildly different, complex texts around the same time? Are they recent purchases? Books on your to-read list? What is it??

I won't lie, have this many unread or unfinished books knocking about in my room is pretty embarrassing, so I hereby pledge that I will get any more books until I have finished every single one in this picture. Other than the two that I've already ordered and haven't arrived and whatever ones I get for Christmas of course.

Banner publishes Reformed and Puritan literature.
Valley of Vision is a collection of Puritan prayers. Though some of them are taken from people who weren't Puritans proper like Spurgeon though he read the Puritans well and deeply.

Yeh it's good yeh, I have read the first two, I was well into the first one, especially the very first volume, but fuckin once Constantine started knocking about and decided to move from Rome to Constantinople I started losing interest. I perked up again with all the stuff about Julian being in charge since we share a name and that, but then after he died, I started being less and less interested in it all over again, so now I've taken a long break from it but I reckon I'll pick up the last part fairly soon now because it is a good read even if it isn't an absolutely correct and accurate piece of historical literature, it's still a good read.
