Feel free to ask my thoughts on any of the above and provide your own thoughts on those you have read. I'll do this after every three months, seeing as I deleted my "currently reading" list from the side-bar. (Oh, and just because I've read 20 books doesn't necessarily mean I'm a good reader. I have some very poor reading habits which mean that I don't always profit as well as I ought...)

That is quite an impressive list; did you enjoy the Puritan Papers?
I've tried to slow down in my reading and profit more, as you mentioned. Part of that is buying fewer books. When I have several new ones that I haven't read, I'm more tempted to rush through them. I'm also slowing down in my Bible reading and trying to practice more meditation and memorization. Of course, none of that guarantees more profit.
Yes, I did like the Puritan Papers. The papers by Martyn Lloyd Jones were particularly thought-provoking. It was my favourite book for January...though I can't honestly say that any of the others impressed me enough to be serious competition.
Having un-read books on the book shelf is definitely guilt-inducing...
