Too busy translating the Aeneid.
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Vanity Fair. For the first time. I love the tone!  ;D

Edit: I'm not loving Becky Sharp, to say the least. So much like Scarlett O'Hara!  :o  >Shudder.<

Desire and Deception, Charles A Coulombe. Near the start he recounts how when it was first published under a pseudonym, a diocesan official sent an effusive letter in red ink, all caps, to try and lure the author to a meeting in order to expose him. Mr Coulombe sent the letter to the bookshop, so his book would have a positive comment on the catalogue. The official in great annoyance rang the bookshop, and finally, the lady who took the call suggested the official (who hadn't paid on time for advertising) should advise them when he is lying.

Grand Orient Freemasonry unmasked, as the secret power behind Communism by Dillon with preface by Denis Fahey.
Don't know why but books on freemasonry fascinate me. Not that I find it attractive in any way but it's good to know the intentions of the enemies of the Church.

Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography, by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Pamela Smith Hill. Fascinating. I love annotated books. I wish all of the "working correspondence" between Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane could be published. I'd love to see exactly how the series evolved.

That's an awesome book eh? It's really well put together and there's a ton of stuff in it. You could get pretty plastered testing out all the cocktails if you're not careful.
