I just finished "The Man Who Was Thursday" - Chesterton. Brilliantly written, and oh, so much symbolism! :)

Let's see....what now....

I'm going to start "Modern Times" - Paul Johnson, I've heard it's super good.

Oh, and I'm also reading "Service with A Smile" - Wodehouse. Bloody hysterical. :lol_roll: But then again, anything by Wodehouse is. :)

Just finished reading (and reviewing) [url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385522703?ie=UTF8&tag=amberdine-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=0385522703"][u]The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist[/u][/url]. Posted a long review on both Amazon and my LiveJournal [url="http://amberdine.livejournal.com/142015.html"][link][/url].

Quick version: fabulous book. Talks about what the rite of exorcism is like nowadays, what kind of training priests go through now, and what sorts of people need help. Both eye-opening and entertaining.

Because I have the tendency to read too many books at once...

1) The Growth of Mysticism: Gregory the Great throgh the 12th Century by Bernard McGinn
((This is some background reading for my senior honors thesis I will be writing over the course of this coming academic year.))

2) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

3) And You are Christ's by Fr. Dubay

4) I Want to See God by P. Marie Eugene
((This is a wonderful book on Teresian spirituality that is founded in a series of lectures given by a Carmelite community to a bunch of college professors who wanted to more about Teresian spirituality.))

During the summer I have basically all day long to read, so I go back and forth between these books according to my fancy. I'm also continuing with my Greek, so I work out of a study book, but that's not really "reading" per se.
