This is like asking who the greatest rock guitarist of all time is.

The books I’ve read the most include:

Wendell Berry’s Jayber Crow and That Distant Land

Roger Scruton’s The Soul of the World

I really liked Walker Percy’s The Moviegoer, Russell Kirk’s bio of Edmund Burke, and CS Lewis’ Till We Have Faces, all of which I’ve read lately.

One book that isn’t “the greatest” by any measure but that I think everyone should read is RR Reno’s Return of the Strong gods. He does an excellent job of explaining post War consensus between members of the Uniparty and how it’s gotten us where we are. Very interesting.
