A Movable Feast by Ernest Hemingway. His account of Paris in 20's. It has all the usual suspects. Pound. Fitzgerald. Elliot. Joyce. Gertrude Stein. Even though it was early in his career, by his own account he was already putting away enormous quantities of alcohol.

I need to read that one.   If I could time travel, Paris in the 20's would be my first place to visit.  Rose colored glasses and all.

I am reading the transcripts of the lectures from one of the Open Yale Courses, SPAN 300: Cervantes' Don Quixote.  I'm reading a lecture per day and am up to number three.  I read Don Quixote the summer before last and have learned a lot so far.

On the recommendation of fellow posters, I've just finished God's Battalions by Rodney Stark. Quite an eye opener.

How is removing the blindfold?

Guess what?  I was reading too many things at once, never finished it.  Now it is waiting to be unpacked with all my other books.  I will have to get back to it.

My first impression was that it is a more densely written book than what I am used to.  I can not read large doses of it.

I liked Abp Lefebvres "They Have Uncrowned Him".  The Abp writes with simplicity and clarity, which is rare.
"What Catholics once were, we are. If we are wrong, then Catholics through the ages have been wrong.
We are what you once were. We believe what you once believed.
We worship as you once worshipped. If we are wrong now, you were wrong then. If you were right then, we are right now".

Hemingway short stories. They talk about how great it would be to take Chesterton fishing in one.

Enders Game. Dune was amazing, hoping this also loves up to the hype.
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips. Incline not my heart to evil words.

Oooh, I loved Ender's Game. The only science fiction book on my shelves. One of the books that I wish I could read for the first time all over again.  :)

Simultaneously?
"All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in comparison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man." - St. John Vianney

I LOVE Frog & Toad.  Remember my father laughing so hard when he read it to me.
