Reading List
Over at Pontifications, there is a theology reading list for college.
It is as follows:
Part I
Diogenes Allen, Philosophy for Understanding Theology
Irenaeus, On the Apostolic Preaching
Athanasius, On the Incarnation
Basil, On the Holy Spirit
Gregory of Nazianzus, On God and Man
Cyril of Alexandria, On the Unity of Christ
Augustine, Confessions
Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt, Holy Teaching: Introducing the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas
Robert Wilken, The Spirit of Early Christian Thought
Boris Bobrinskoy, The Mystery of the Trinity
Leo Davis, The First Seven Ecumenical Councils (325-787)
Robert Sokolowski, The God of Faith and Reason
Thomas Oden, Systematic Theology (3 vols)
Part II
Günther Bornkamm, Jesus of Nazareth
N. T. Wright, Paul: In Fresh Perspective
Brevard Childs, Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments
Karl Barth, Dogmatics in Outline
Henri de Lubac, Catholicism: Christ and the Common Destiny of Man
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Introduction to Christianity
Servais Pinckaers, The Sources of Christian Ethics
Looks like a good list. I however, have only read Augustine's Confessions and Ratzinger's Introduction to Christianity from the list. I've read quite a bit of Ratzinger's books and many other theology books. I am currently working on a stack that is beside my desk which includes Origen, Newman, Chesterton, Ratzinger (of course), Kreeft, and various books on church history. When I'm finished with those, then I will tackle the Pontificator's list.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Oh, and I am also listening to Scott Hahn's "Hail, Holy Queen" on CD to and from work! I love maximizing my reading!
That's a great idea - audio books! They say that it's a great book by Dr. Hahn.
I finished the audio book today. It was very good! I highly recommend it. So far all of Scott Hahn's books that I have read (or heard) have been great.
