As usual, I have several books going at once; however, they are unusual in the focus:
(1) (And pride of place this week) Death on a Friday Afternoon Richard John Neuhaus
(2) At the Fountian of Elijah Wilfrid McGreal
(3) Dove Descending Thomas Howard with Four Quartets T.S. Eliot
(4) Dark Night of the Soul St. John of the Cross
Next week, as soon as one of these is finished, I will jump into The Collar which just arrived. I've been looking forward to it for a while.
Linda picked up an interesting book this weekend His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik which is a fantasy/alternative reality story set in the era of the Napoleonic wars. The inspiration for the series is said to come from the novelist's favorite reading: Patrick O'Brien.
I also picked up a novel of interest, set in 12th century Wales--The Fool's Tale by Nicole Galland. As soon as I can get to it, I shall report on it.
I just picked up His Majesty's Dragon too! It's on my list as soon as I finish Sense and Sensibility.
Dear Talmida,
That's wonderful! I posted this with you in mind, in case you had not seen it. Once Linda is through with it, I plan to read it as well. Let me know what you think!
shalom,
Steven
