Decided to start on Purgatory Explained by Fr. F.X. Schouppe, SJ. It was written in 1893. Will be reading about 5 chapters a night since each chapter is only a couple pages long .

AN unusual name for a first book in a series.

I am reading Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict.xv1.It is a wonderful book, starting with a marvellous explaination of the Baptism of Jesus, The Temptation of Jesus, Sermon on the Mount, Beatudes, and much, much, more. It shows the great depth of thinking and thelogy of our Pope. Well worth a read!

Two at once - ‘City of God’ by St Augustine (brilliant, brilliant, but EXTREMELY long!) and ‘War of the Worlds’ (HG Wells, brilliant in a different way).

Portrait of Dorian Gr**ay by Oscar Wilde

Also astounding is Wilde’s titanic rhapsody of penitence named De Profundis as he recovers his soul from sub-Victorian morral rot by invoking his dormant Catholic faith.
