I find him a little sad myself. But I guess it all depends on where you're standing.

In what respect?

Mine, in the order I came to them (plus a few specific works important to me), are:

Dante Alighieri -- The Divine Comedy, La Vita Nuova
C.S. Lewis -- The Great Divorce, Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves
Peter Kreeft -- Socrates Meets Jesus, The Best Things in Life, The Unaborted Socrates
G.K. Chesterton -- Orthodoxy, The Everlasting Man, Heretics, What's Wrong With the World

John Piper had the most influence on me. Desiring God.
