Here's a useful pic for anyone who wants some ideas for books to read
Joshua Jones
Is it good? very liberal? It has chapters on racism, globalization, and social justice, which always makes me cautious.

The EP does a good job at taking on these issues from a purely (Orthodox) Christian perspective.
The overall theme is "racism is an issue, globalization is an issue, the secular ideals of social justice are problematic, and Orthodoxy has the answer to all that".
The overall book is a bit lacking in profound content, since it is more of an urgent call to stop running into a wall, aimed at the secular world, than a message targeted at his own flock. But it neatly gathers what the Patriarch has always been saying about social justice, the environment, the state of society, globalization, etc. and always remains a purely Orthodox perspective on these subjects, rather than a more vague message that doesn't revolve around Christ directly.

Some books that have some Christian aspects and theme in it is most of the well known books by Dostoyevsky and Don Quixote.
I just finished reading Don Quixote a couple days ago and it's probably one of my favorite books out there. It's hilarious and at the same time, sad, especially in the ending of the book.

I've been reading a lot of the Summa lately by Aquinas. Also I really enjoy Imitation by Thomas Kempis. Against the Jews by Chrysostom is also a great read.
