Entries by Wendell BerryMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
In the last few months, the poetry of Wendell Berry caught my attention. But this summer, Wendell Berry has become one of my very favorite writers. I recently checked this book out at my local library, started reading, got hooked, and finished it in one day. It was a wonderful reading experience, more enjoyable than any book I've read for a long time. (And I'm glad I didn't come across his works till this year - I don't think I could have enjoyed Berry before I turned 30.) At times Berry gets a little preachy and political (and I should add that I certainly don't always agree with him), but overall, he is a profound, elegant writer who shows us through his craft much of what it means to be created in God's image, to be fully human, to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to care for God's earth. There's so much to chew on here, and it's so elegantly written that I want to read this book through again and again.
