cartermia Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I doubt I am in the top three, not enough time to read! But I do have three books to add! Why Pro-life by Randy Alcorn -- 172 pages Courageous by Kristan Hawkins -- 176 pages Students-for-Life Guidebook -- around 200 (couldn't find a page count on amazon and I am to lazy to go get the book upstairs) Did I already put Oedipus Rex? And I had to reread 13 reasons why for school so if you could count me twice for that please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi, everyone. Obviously dUSt has redecorated. :/ Little hard to read but we can do this. Had hoped to get the count up before today, but Phatmass or whatever this is was down yesterday, and I lost my window. I have a big thing that has to be done before Friday for my Secular Order. Hoping now for Saturday.... Keep on reading!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Dear friends, I'm just checking in. On paper we have about 1 more week to go (even though technically it is Autumn (or spring for those of you in the southern hemisphere!!!!) I'd hoped to update this before now... but I'm kinda stuck with life these days. As I think most of you know, I'm staying with my Mother-in-Law's family while she is dying. (Yes, I know I keep saying that... but so the hospice people! She's got a will of iron, and she is simply not letting go!) But It will probably happen at some point this week... and then there will be the funeral services, etc. I'm here for as long as it takes, and I'm happy to do this for her and for our family... but my internet access is really minimal, and I don't know if I can work on this for a few weeks. You can keep posting books, and I'll get it done when I can do it. We can also just extend it thru October if desired... and see if we can get it moving again... or we an just write what books we have been reading since last update and I'll do a final count as soon as I can.... you guys let me know what you want. But I probably can't work on it for a week or 2 to be honest with you.... Thanks for understanding! Let me know what you want!!!! :bible: :heart: :bible: :heart: :bible: Edited September 24, 2014 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spem in alium Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 FINALLY I can add: Jesus: a pilgrimage, by Fr James Martin, SJ. 544 pages and hands-down one of the most brilliant books I've ever read. As for the thread, totally happy for it to continue through Oct. :) Praying, AL. :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) OK, done, we will continue the 'summer/fall' book reading thing thru October 31, 2014! (If my MIL "C" is still with us by then.... yowie! It just won't be possible! Prayers gratefully appreciated for her gentle passage into Eternal Life...) And I will add the following books I have read over the last few weeks to our totals: Life in the Coal House, the Griffiths Family 96 pages -- but I read it 3 times! =96 pages X 3 = 288 pages Line of Fire, Stephen White, 557 pages Welcome to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites, Fr. Aloysius Deeney, OCD (116 pages) Lectio Divina and the Practice of Teresian Prayer Fr. Sam Anthony MOrello, OCD (29 Pages) 5 for Sorrow, 10 for Joy, Rumer Godden, (368 pages) And as far as books in progress... Still working-away on the Story of a Soul. Almost done.... And.. almost thru Vol 1 of the Collected Letters of St. Teresa (704 pages) and Vol 2 of the Collected Letters (661 pages) AAAAGGGHHH!!!! the things I have to read in order to teach my Secular Order classes!!!!!!! ... and for a little light reading, James Michener's Space! (808 pages) (fun & fascinating reading but it is a HEAVY book!) And... maybe a re-read of Dracula???? How about everyone else!!!!

pippo buono Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Do encyclicals and Church documents in general count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippo buono Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 And do I need to complete the book for it to count? For example, if I'm doing research on a certain topic and I only need to read a certain section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if I'm doing research on a certain topic and I only need to read a certain section. Ooh! Good question. I'm reading a lot of chapters of books at the moment and also wanted to know if they count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hi, all.... Sure, sections of books for school... just give us a page count. And yes, Church documents and encyclicals do count. Sections of the Catechism and Summa or other larger works are ok too. We have even taken kids books as books. Basically... the idea is to just get us reading more -- it's helped me hugely to get back in the HABIT of reading. I'm still on MIL watch - and any prayers you can spare that she might just let go and go home to God would be greatly appreciated -- she isn't in pain, but her kids and sister are finding the wait to be really hard. We've been told it is a matter of time.... but the Hospice people cannot believe she is still holding on...... so prayers, please..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
