The Good Pope. Don’t have author’s name handy. It’s about Pope St. John XXIII.
 
Inventing Hell: Dante, The Bible, and Eternal Torment, by Jon M. Sweeney.
 
Just finished Silent Angel by Antonia Arslan. (Augustine Institute/Ignatius Press)
(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
I just started to read Augustine’s Confessions. I also recently finished Donna Tartt’s The Secret History.
 
Five Points by Tyler Anbinder.

“ The 19th Century New York City Neighborhood that Invented Tap Dance, Stole Elections, and Became the World’s Most Notorious Slum.”

Think of the movie Gangs of New York and you will know the time and place.

New Star Trek novel The Unsettling Stars , by Alan Dean Foster. It’s set in the Kelvin timeline, shortly after the events of the 2009 movie.

I just finished this (took me long enough). It’s an easy read, and someone who is an avid reader could probably get through it in a day or two. It’s less than 300 pages. Without getting into spoilers, I liked that it was a first contact story that sets up a mystery that is finally resolved in the last couple chapters. And with very little violence - I think Gene Roddenberry would be pleased. (What violence there is, is mainly in the first couple of chapters.)
 
Two books right now:

(1) Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

(2) Confronting Christianity by Rebecca McLaughlin
 
The Last Crusader: A Novel about Don Juan of Austria by Louis de Wohl.

Will I lose points if I admit I’ve never finished the Lord of the Rings?
 
Well, you might actually win Points with some people for admitting that! 😂
 
That reminds me of the naughty National Lampoon parody, Bored of the Rings.

Good for you. Just be aware that Nietzsche has been disowned by ALL atheists who post on CAF so do not expect any comment from them if you post anything related to him 😵
 
I am reading a Catholic urban fantasy mystery series by Declan Finn. It’s the St. Tommy series and I am on the last one. I am listening to Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk series as I drive. It’s quite scary knowing what I know about Big Tech.
