The Spiritual Life, which is the third book compiling Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's preaching on a certain overall topic. I usually read at least a little each day. Obviously, it's a deep subject.

Who is the author?

Strictly speaking, the Archbishop himself. It's a collection of his sermons and conferences, word for word, on the spiritual life. But it was compiled by Father Patrick Troadec, SSPX. The book is sold only through Saint Thomas Aquinas Seminary as far as I know.

How is it?

I spend about half my waking hours reading....

I'm reading sections of the Metaphysics and One Hundred Years of Modernism.  This is part of my variable reading - constantly changing month by month. 

Then I have my more or less permanent reading: Chaucer, Homer and Dante.  On the latter, I have near zero Italian and so I have been teaching myself the Tuscan dialect while making my way through La Divina Commedia.  Actually, i was thinking about starting a reading group around Dante this if anyone's interested. 

At night I'm now reading The Imitation of Christ - in Knox's translation.  It's a bitter hoe.  By the time I'm done with a few pages I feel pretty darn worthless, lol.

I find the Imitation almost unbearably lacerating, lol.  So I've been interspersing reading it with Fr. Boudreau's Happiness of Heaven, which is truly wonderful, and balances out Kempis somehow

The Devil's Alliance: Hitler's Pact With Stalin, 1939-1941 by Roger Moorhouse

How is it?

Quite good. It was interesting to read how the two greatest homicidal maniacs  of the 20th century used each other for their own advantage. How they divided eastern Europe between them. Germany needed Russia's raw materials particularly when anticipating a British blockade while Russia needed industrial equipment and military hardware from Germany.
Most of the negotiations were held in secret as the propaganda machines of both countries had heaped vitriol on each other for years.
When it came time for the Russian negotiators to visit Berlin it was discovered there were no Soviet flags to be found in the capitol so a bunch of hausfraus were put to work sewing them for the main hall of the train station.
In addition, the Russians had plenty of advance warning of Germany's 41 invasion but Stalin refused to believe it. He thought it was a bargaining ploy on Hitler's part. Stalin even had an informer who brought this information shot for spreading disinformation.

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've finally finished The Pickwick Papers, and am in the middle of Leviticus (both from audible, and both narrations excellent).
