I'm getting started on my summer reading with two books on the Reformation:
How the Reformation Happened (1928)
Characters of the Reformation (1936)
Both books are by Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), a French-born British man of letters (and good friend of G. K. Chesterton).
These books will be both interesting and fun to read: interesting, because the Reformation is always interesting to read about; fun, because Belloc was a convinced and committed Roman Catholic, who thought that the Reformation was not one of the human race's better ideas. It should be eye-opening, reading about the Protestant Reformation from the point of view of "the other side."
