Brother Adam Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have a copy sitting next to me, but I am not allowed to quote out of it or 'publicly display it' until Thursday. I have been reading it this afternoon and it is the definition of amesome. Skip the Little Black Book, buy it for your Lenten reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Fr. Z was given permission to discuss a few sections, so I know a little bit of what it's about. My copy shipped today, according to Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 It is dense, highly theological, and clocks in at over 350 pages. There are a couple of quotes I am dying to put here, but have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I had to read the first volume very slowly, and I still didn't take in as much as I wanted. I really wish I could just dedicate a full week to reading and digesting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeresaBenedicta Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've been thinking about purchasing it... but I can only afford the kindle version right now... and that's the sort of book where I'd [i]definitely[/i] want a physical copy. I also need to reread the first volume... although I'm not sure how imperative that is to reading this new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocent Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I contacted the St. Paul's bookstore here and they said it'll be available next week. I hope it's not costlier than the last one was. (Though I do not in the least regret spending what I did for the previous book, I like to hope that in the near future, Popes will follow Cory Doctorow's model.)
