Just picked up this:



https://www.amazon.com/Napoleon-Life-Andrew-Roberts-ebook/dp/B00INIXLPW/ref=sr_1_1_twi_kin_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1477233379&sr=8-1&keywords=napoleon+a+life+by+andrew+roberts

which I've wanted ever since it came out. On sale for $2.99 today, so too good to pass up.

I think Andrew Roberts is over positive towards this destroyer of ancient kingdoms, duchies and abbacies.
Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

Cheaper by the Dozen:rofl:

Like that one, too

The original movie with Clifton Web and Myrna Loy is great.
For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace

Finishing War and and La Chute, beginning Augustine's Confessions right now. My grandmother sent me Hundrearingen Som Klatret Ut Gjennom Vinduet Og Forsvant, not really sure how I am going to find time for all of this...

I guess I can finally give up Reddit or something for good.

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.

"When faced by our limitations, we must have recourse to the practice of offering to God the good works of others." - St Therese of Lisieux

Now it's The Egg and I (again). Somehow, even with all of the sarcasm and hyperbole, it always makes me want to live on a farm somewhere. :) But not in Oregon.

Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander. The author spent 7 days in a coma due to bacterial meningitis and had a profound Near Death Experience.
Alexander is an experienced neurosurgeon and his account is thought provoking.

My neighbor ,just yesterday, read me a poem from this book. His friend died a couple of days ago and he wants to read it at the wake.
PS: Are his, the author's, experiences in line with true doctrine? I mean there are many book on this subject but most of them are just sappy protestant "babble".

When it comes to doctrine, I'm the last person to ask.  Before his experience, the author was a tepid Episcopalian. The book was recommended to me by my RCIA instructor years ago but I recently came across a free copy. The writer didn't seem to be a kook.
