The rare jewel of Christian contentment

What Hacker News says

   I thought this was going to be a typical HN "build things instead" thing, but I actually love their take. Looking at the world around us lately I've been realizing more and more that "it's all in Plato"; his Republic is a book I read once in high school, but it's high time to re-read it.

   What are some books you find your self going back to repeatedly (or want to)? My list:

   - Domain Driven Design

   - Ray Bradbury's short stories and Farenheit 451

   - George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier

   - Descent into Hell

   - LotR, the Hobbit, and Narnia

   - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

   - Psalms, Job, James

   - The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment

   - Wendell Berry's Essays

   - Winnie the Pooh

   - Augustine

   Guess you know what kind of person I am now.
