I kept going over and over how to respond to Josh's tag and come up with a list of meaningful books. In truth the below books, and their descriptions, just occurred to be while I was eating fat-free lite yogurt. But that's boring, so here's a more interesting origin:

Once, the sign on Sioux Falls' grandest union read: If what you are doing is not working, stop doing it. My earlier attempts to create a book list, categories, write descriptions, defend their importance to myself, &c. So I stopped attempting that I embraced despair, and decided on another path of attack..

Like Aristotle, I humbled myself before knowledge. Instead of trying to work down from a grand theory of writing, I will work up by making lists. So here is my first list from the blogosphere: The Elements

Family
(see also Sons, A House Divided)

Individuality
(see also Anthem, The Romantic Manifesto)

Masculinity
(see also Rise of the Vulcans, The Catcher in the Rye)

Christianity
(see also The Catholic Encyclopedia,
Desire of the Everlasting Hills)
