The author of the blog (and book) Hipster Christianity asks:
How many of these 50 books have you read? If you’ve read more than 20 of them, there is a good chance that you are a Christian with artistic or intellectual tendencies. If you’ve read more than 30 of them, you are most likely a Christian hipster. If you’ve read more than 40 of them, let me know. You could probably write the sequel to Hipster Christianity.
Here’s his list, with the ones I’ve read in bold. Best as I can tell, a true hipster Christian must also be an ex- (or current?) evangelical. I like to think that I have artistic or intellectual tendencies (pretensions?), but I only racked up 15 14 books. I would’ve done better if his Dostoevsky choice was The Brothers Karamazov, the Faulkner was The Sound and the Fury, and Steinbeck was The Grapes of Wrath. What makes these particularly un-hip? Too obvious? Also, what makes King Lear the Christian hipster play par excellence??

A Thinking Reed 
I’m 14 or 15, too (I can’t recall if I’m remembering the right L’Engle book). There are one or two that I’ve been meaning to get around to — Shusako Endo’s Silence is supposed to be very good — but there are also several in which I have no real interest whatsoever.
I actually have Endo’s book on my shelf but haven’t gotten to it yet.
Most of the books on the list that I’m not interested seem to be precisely those that specific to evangelicalism (Miller, Bell). I of course feel duty-bound to at some point read the Imitation and Crime and Punishment.
I’ve read 2/3 of Crime and Punishment–twice. Does that count?
Silence is on the Church History II reading list here at Union Presbyterian Seminary.
