QuoteYou could get pretty plastered testing out all the cocktails if you're not careful.

But I'm of Irish heritage.  Donegal, no less!
It really is a nice little fun book, with very clever drink analogies, and good saintly information. 

They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled
Psalms 36:19

Pollyanna. I'm enjoying it a lot more this time around. :) There's a lot of "making the best of things," and "giving people the benefit of the doubt about why they act a certain way, instead of interpreting their actions in a bad light and getting upset." And it shows how much people can misunderstand each other, by just judging from appearances. Basically a guide for optimists having to deal with pessimists. Most admirable.  :thumbsup:

I just received an incredible HAUL from my RedditGifts Book Exchange Santa, so I'm getting ready to start Sigrid Undset's Happy Times in Norway.

Just started Dracula the Un-dead after finishing Stoker's Dracula today. This was one of the best books I've ever read. I would've never even thought that Dracula book could portray Christian symbolism so powerfully. I am glad I've read this book.  :)
   The sequel was written by Bram Stoker's great grand-nephew Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. The book begins with a letter by Mina Harper to her son and Seward tracking down Elizabeth Báthory.

Lost Voices of the Edwardians: 1901–1910 in Their Own Words, by Max Arthur. Just the sort of book that I like: little anecdotes about daily life during the period, covering a range of subjects.

I just started reading The Lord of the Rings. Question: I have never read any Tolkien before. Would vos advise me to stop reading The Lord of the Rings until after I've read The Hobbit? Not sure why I chose to read it out of order, but I'm not that far into it yet, so it's not too late for me to turn back...

I'm also reading A Map of Life (my former spiritual director told me to read it a while back). I started it months ago but kind of stopped halfway through, but started reading it again a few days ago. It's a good book. (Something between catechesis and spiritual reading.)

I read and enjoyed The Lord of the Rings without ever reading The Hobbit.  :shrug:

That's how I read them. It seemed more epic to begin in medias res.
