A Few Recommendations of Titles of my Recent Interest

 This book maybe possibly the best book on the Middle Ages as concerns a defense of key Christian figures, and their influence on history, as concerns those times, that I have read.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the truth about the Christian Medieval West, and it's impact on our roots in Western Civilization.
The book is written quite easily, and gives a biographical account of some great Medieval Christians, both Western and Eastern.
I think it will be full of surprises to many readers, as it was to me in reading it.
 I only made a short post this Saturday, as I am currently reading the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer,  The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature by C. S. Lewis, Purgatorio by Dante, and City of God by Augustine, along with some other works. I'd like to post on these other books in the future, but am just so busy currently reading book after book.

 The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is among my favorite works. In fact, I would consider the Canterbury Tales to be for me, my favorite work of literature, { The Bible obviously is divine, and thus beyond any comparison of books}. Chaucer is also one of my favorite writers, and I have been looking into his life more and more as I read the book.
 I read some of the Canterbury Tales back in high school, but never finished it for some reason. I do know at that time I was also reading Beowulf, a great classic all it's own.
 For those who find Middle English not an easy read like myself, I suggest getting this copy by which you can read the old version side by side with the new. I personally would like to learn Middle English, and know it thoroughly. That is another goal of mine in the recent future ahead that awaits me. The No Fear Canterbury Tales is a great way to get familiar with Chaucer's work for starters. Please, if you are interested in Chaucer, take my recommendation at starting off with this.

If I could recommend just one fictitious work of Medieval Literature, it would no doubt be the Canterbury Tales. Despite my love for Dante, and his gloomy depictions of the underworld, I enjoy the colorful and largely crooked characters that sit around at the inn in Canterbury, as they embark on a pilgrimage to see the sights of Thomas Becket. For here, in these tales, you will find some stories that you will probably never forget.
 I maybe saying something that will get the arouse of my viewers, but I prefer Chaucer to Shakespeare. In many ways I also think Shakespeare would not have been the playwright he was, if it was not for Chaucer. Perhaps more on that, I will say later.

My heart overflows with a goodly theme; 

I address my verses to the king;

my tongue is like the men of a ready scribe.

Psalm 45: 1
