Summer Reading Competition


Byzantine

Recommended Posts

Working on the stats over here... late tonight or early in the AM for the postings.

 

Uh... need some names of books, Dr. Bomb-bay.... otherwise these 6,042 pages will get ejected out the back of this vee-hickle!  (unless St. Byz intercedes for you...)

 

You started a nice discussion thread on your  Orientale Lumen book, which ought to count for something...

Ooops, Dr. B -- that part about Orientale Lumen should have been addressed to L&T

 

For YOU, we will be able to document The Apocalypse Explained at 226 page.... and the others if you can cough up titles.

 

Will get to the update late tonight.... and after this, Byz & I have agreed he'll take back the reins on the how many books part, and I'll focus on how many pages.

 

All other stuff stays the same. 

 

Now I gotta get to Mass!!!!!

 

AND I'LL READ A BOOK WHILE I AM ON THE TRANSIT!!!!   Still chucking away at The Killer Angels - I highly recommend it.  Absolutely beautifully written.

Hm.... I'm reading The Lord of The Rings right now, in the middle of The Two Towers (I'll get you the page count for The Fellowship of The Ring later), and this might be the encouragement I need to read other stuff like the CCC and various parts of the Bible. (I generally figure I get enough scripture in daily Mass, the Office of Readings (as well as the rest of the LOTH), and maybe other stuff occasionally, but it would probably be good to sit down and read.)

BG, congrats on completing Atlas Infernal.  Wanna give us a number of pages?  And do you have a new one you are starting?

 

Sorry I've been a little swamped with stuff out here in SFO land.... will get these up by tonight.  Anyone else want to add page numbers or next books? or books in progress?

 

I know that the ARFinks are reading... saw 'em on ARFinks thread.   Yikes!

 

I'm still slugging through Killer Angels... about 3/4 of the way through.   Heartbreaking, but beautifully written....

 

I'm re-reading Mount Joy by Daisy Newman.... it is a novel about a college age woman who did the Camino in the mid-1960s (WAY before it was popular); it's a good read (if a little dated) but is giving me a lot of help on the 'Nunsense Walking the Camino de Santiago' thread in Open Mic... That thread is also a good read, btw... if I do say so myself... ;) seeing as how she & I are the prime writers on that one..... 

 

... and she can use everyone's encouragement.  It is a LONG and HOT walk!

22 page Superman comic on top of that bilingual instruction booklet.  And that's not including ads.  With ads the comic is 27 pages.  So 29 pages total this summer.  Holla if you think I still have a chance!
