ROFL. Not *entirely* :) - I want to broaden my horizons by seeing what is made of it in other languages, and, equally important, improve my knowledge of those languages. HP is a painless way to do that. Foreign grammar is much less painful to learn when one has been prepared for it by reading the original text in English.
Receive, O Lord, all my liberty. Take my memory, my understanding, and my entire will. Whatsoever I have or possess Thou hast bestowed upon me; to Thee I give it all back and surrender it wholly to be governed by Thy Will. Give me love for Thee alone, with Thy grace, and I am rich enough and ask for nothing more.

- St Ignatius Loyola.

Joan of Arc: Her Story
by Régine Pernoud and Marie-Véronique Clin

An excellent telling of the story of St Joan. It is also research for a future illustration I will be doing. My niece is going to model for Joan. Régine Pernoud is an excellent author who's writings debunk many of the liberal notions about the medieval period.

O Mary, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, offer, we beseech thee, to the Eternal Father, the Precious Blood of thy Divine Son to prevent at least one mortal sin from being committed somewhere in the world this day.

Willoughbyland: England's Lost Colony by Matthew Parker.It was in Guyana, roughly and worked well as a place for those poor English and Irish displaced from Barbados by African slaves (a monopoly of a company headed by Charles II and the Prince of Wales), although their terms of service were little different from slavery, but the time in bonded servitude was finite. Most failed colonies were failures from start to finish, but this prospered for a considerable time. It helped that the Navigation Act was not applied to it.
Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

Doomsday Key by James Rollins. Light adventure fiction in the same vein as Clive Cussler stuff. Nice to take a break from heavier fare.

Just finished East of Eden this afternoon. Quite a fascinating read. Also read The Glass Castle. That book almost made me cry.
