The Golem by Gustav Meyrink
Love and Responsibilty by Karol Wojtyla
The Hand of God by Bernard N. Nathanson M.D.
 
I am reading Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is a good book that warns against a totalitarian government. It also shows what can happen when God is completely purged from the state.
 
Scoundrels

Takes place shortly after Star Wars: A New Hope. Han and Chewbacca lost all of their reward money to pirates, but still find themselves in debt to Jabba. So, someone offers them a chance to get a lot of money, but they’ll need help to do it. Think Star Wars version of Ocean’s Eleven.
 
“The Passion of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew” by Donald Senior, my Lenten reading this year
 
I’m within 30 pages of finishing Return of the King, and with it, the LOTR trilogy. It’s been slow going – I read one book a year. According to Goodreads, I finished Fellowship in Sept 2014, Two Towers in Sept 2015, and will finish Return tonight. I figured if the Ring was destroyed on March 25, it would be appropriate to finish it off. I didn’t expect to zoom through it as quickly as I did, though. It’s been a few days instead of a couple of weeks.

I thought it would be over when the Ring was destroyed, but evidently there’s more story to be had!

I just finished Frodo’s Journey by Joseph Pearce on the Catholic meaning of LOTR and am about to start My Man Jeeves by PG Wodehouse. After that it’s The Quest for Shakespeare by Joseph Pearce, followed by Bilbo’s Journey by Joseph Pearce and then Literary Converts by Joseph Pearce.

Just finished Brideshead Revisited & started on Anne of Green Gables. Somehow I never read it as a child

Oh, Anne is a ball! What did you make of Brideshead? Some of the characters are pains to endure, but Julia’s decision at the end…what a moment.
