Dante's Inferno for class
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.

I suggest you get Two Lives of Charlemagne. They are both primary sources, and you will enjoy them.

Does that have his bio that was written by the Monk Einhard? If that is the one I read that way back. It is VERY good. I'll have to pick that up again.

The Cuckoo's Calling,

I think that is the subtitle for the feminism book I have to read for class. 8)

The Sources of Catholic Dogma

Jesus, Peter and the Keys
'Since Moses was alone, by having been stripped as it were of the people's fear, he boldly approached the very darkness itself and entered the invisible things where he was no longer seen by those watching. After he entered the inner sanctuary of the divine mystical doctrine, there, while not being seen, he was in company with the Invisible. He teaches, I think, by the things he did that the one who is going to associate intimately with God must go beyond all that is visible and—lifting up his own mind, as to a mountaintop, to the invisible and incomprehensible—believe that the divine is there where the understanding does not reach.'

—St Gregory of Nyssa

Garrigou-Lagrange's The One God.
IF I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

I'm currently reading The Law of Contracts and the Uniform Commercial Code. I'm about to begin reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.

The Cuckoo's Calling, by Robert Galbraith aka J. K. Rowling.

How is it?

The story was just starting to pick up when I posted this. She took some time to establish the characters and plot. Maybe I was prejudiced, but it is so her style, although written for adults, that I don't know how anyone wouldn't be able to guess. It's gotten a little bogged down in detail since then but we'll see how it turns out.

The Rise and Fall of Triumph: The History of a Radical Roman Catholic Magazine, 1966-1976 by Mark D. Popowksi. An excellent book so far, here's the link on Amazon(get it from the library if you can because it's a little pricey).

9th graders' essay outlines. Fascinating stuff.

Actually, I'm not reading them right now. I'm putting off reading them.

I've been reading a lot of James A. Michener's historical novels. I read Mexico and Caribbean and have just started Texas. They're not great works from a literary standpoint, but for me they are a much more accessible way to study history, and in that respect they are very interesting and very well written in my opinion.
