The Anna Katherina Emerick book about her visions of the Pasion. (I am not sure the title). I downloaded it (is royalty free). Not quite 1/2 way. All I can say is WOW. I think I will have to read it twice.
 
Today I am reading my “Betty Crocker Cook Book.” I’m trying to figure out how many people, a 22 pound Turkey will feed. 🙂

When I am done with cleaning, cooking etc for the Holiday’s, I will get back to reading :

“Padre Pio the pierced Priest.” 👍
“The Doorkeeper” 👍
“Amazing Grace for Mothers” 👍
 
I’m working my way through Unholy Alliance by David Horowitz. I was impressed by a class he gave on the subject. Horowitz, who once lead the Left, talks about those who share the view that America is the Great Satan. Strangely enough he’s not only talking about radical Islam but the Left in American society,which once leaned toward Communism and now sides with these terrorist elements and makes their own our campuses and media. It’s fascinating and scary when you think of how naively we send our kids off to college.

Sirach, I read Father Joe and could not put it down! Let me just warn you, if you are a sentimental type, you will need some tissues towards the end. It is an EXCELLENT book; one I would recommend to anyone, Catholic or not.

Have a great day!

Currently reading:
Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas by Daniel J. Flynn (an exceptionally well written, and frightening book!).

Dead Red a crime novel by a local former police officer, Nelson Andreu.

and Heart Full of Lies: A True Story of Desire and Death by Ann Rule.

I love to read, and as you can see have no problem reading lots of different things at once.
Have a great day, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the many wonderful book suggestions thus far on this list. I am currently reading several things:
  1. Revolt, by Susan Wise Bauer, which is a fictional story of what would happen if the extreme religious right seceeded from the Union. I’m only about ten chapters into it but so far it is GREAT. (Mrs. Wise also co-authored The Well Trained Mind, a fabulous books for homeschoolers about classical education.)
  2. The Everlasting Man, by G.K. Chesterton. Deep and funny and throught provoking collection of his work.
  3. Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. Read it twenty years ago but I have to teach it in January so I thought I’d better do it again. :rolleyes: I am really enjoying it more this time than when I had to read it, and am hoping I can help my 8th graders enjoy it too.
  4. Several young adult/ teens books. Since I am a middle school English and history teacher, I try to stay ahead of what the kids are reading. I usually read one teen book a week. Most recent read in this category was Eragon, by a 15 year old author (!!!) Christopher Paolini. Clearly influenced by the Tolkien tales, this was a fun romp of good versus evil, in which dragons are friendly. This is a big fat book, VERY popular with my 8th graders this year.
  5. Maurice and Therese’, The Story of a Love by Patrick Ahern. This is the story of the correspondence between Therese of Liseaux and a struggling young priest, it’s a wonderful, spiritual book. Therese adopted him as a sort of prayer intention and he made her the spiritual godmother of the babies he baptised.
Our home is filled with book-a-holics. My 13 year old son recommended Byzantium, by Stephen Lawhead, which he is currently in the middle of reading.
 
Story of a Soul - St. Therese of Lisieux. - fantastic book!

Hearing Christ Call - A resource for the Formation and Spirituality of Caholic Men - USCCB.

A few books on Diaconal formation. (USCCB)

Just finished “Under The Banner of Heaven” by Jon Krakauer and almost finished with “Out of Mormonism” by Judy Robertson. Scary stuff. Next up is Scott Hahn’s "Swear to God"and “The Pontiff in Winter” by John Cornwell.
 
Magnificat - For morning & evening prayer and the daily mass readings.

Where is that in the Bible? by Patrick Madrid
 
Actively reading: Rewriting History by Dick Morris and have Sean Hannity’s Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism on deck.

Also reading: Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix, Ungodly Rage: The Hidden Face of Catholic Feminism by Donna Steichen, and Scott Hahn’s The Lamb’s Supper
 
actually listening to tapes, not reading, since about to go on a long car ride for the weekend, Exposing the Real Church Scandal by Fr. Groeschel.
 
I’ve recently finished the Sabriel series by Garth Nix, and The Wee Free Men and Going Postal, by Terry Pratchett. I’ve also just read The Da Vinci Code, which caused my to bang my head against walls, shouting, and collar random people on the street so that I could scream, “Don’t read The Da Vinci Code!” at them.

I work in a bookstore, and the two of us who have read that blasted book hate it. We both try to dissuade people from purchasing it.

I’m currently reading Brideshead’s Revisited, and really enoying it. After that I’m going to read The End Of The Affair, unless I get sidetracked by Nigella Lawson’s new cookbook. I think I may re-read The Seven Storey Mountain, if we can get it back from my MIL, and then read A Cry Of Stone, which has been waiting on my shelf for me.
