Reading List
Active:
All Hallow's Eve Charles Williams--Second or third venture through--by far and away the best of Williams's works and very highly recommended.
The Crucible of Creation Simon Conway Morris--Toss aside your Wonderful Life and idiosyncratic glance at the Burgess shale by the scientist best known for his agenda and step into the world of one of the people who was instrumental in the study of and understanding of the Burgess Shale fauna. It also helps that he is a Christian so you don't feel the grate of the Marxist contingency system pressing down upon you. If you're interested in the Burgess Shale, this is the (piopular) book to read about it.
St. Benedict and St. Thérèse: The Little Rule and the Little Way Dwight Longnenecker--The author is, I believe, on one of the team blogs, though I don't remember which one. The book is splendid. It's one of those I am reading very slowly.
The Time Traveler's Wife Forget the author, but this is for a book group.
Seeking Spiritual Growth through the Bible Wilfrid J. Harrington, O.P. This is one I may excerpt in the next couple of days.
Long-Term
Christian Perfection and Contemplation Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange O.P.
Science of the Cross St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Utopia Lincoln Child
The Dust of Eden Thomas Sullivan
And a series of mysteries by Bruce Alexander.

Wilfrid J. Harrington, O.P.? And Garrigou-Lagrange? You are so ecumenical. :~)
Looking forward to the Harrington post.

I believe Dwight Longenecker is on the Envoy blog.

The other day I heard about a friend of a friend who is writing a book about Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity. He (and our mutual friend who helped him on the trip as an emergency backup translator) just got back from France where he pretty much completed his research. You may want to get his book on your waiting list.
