Are you looking for fiction? If so, what type of story?

If non-fiction, are you looing for history, theology, devotionals, inspiring stories…?
 
Fiction is a personal favorite of mine. But I’m fine with non fiction. Action and adventure is good. I can always read a good non fiction book though. I would also enjoy a book that I can relate to. I’m a young catholic so it would be nice to read an inspirational story about a young catholic
 
Are you willing to read stuff online or audio books online ?

There might be free stuff legally (guys can correct me please if I’m wrong) that you can read/listen to.

Are you interested?

Exiles by Ron Hansen…historical fiction based on an actual shipwreck that inspired the Rev. Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem The Wreck of the Deutschland. The story intertwines five Catholic nuns forced to leave Germany for America due to persecution and Hopkins’ struggles while writing the poem.
 
Short stories (I think the title is “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” ) by a Catholic, Flannery O’Connor. Considered to be one of the finest authors of that genre in American history.

The Bible 🙂

And after finishing, read it again, and again, and again.
