Just read [i]Forever Odd[/i] by Dean Koontz. It was "okay".

I think I'd like the next book in the series better: [i]Brother Odd[/i]. Odd Thomas goes to the monastery to fight demons/bodachs.

Sounds like my cuppa tea.

[i]Church History[/i] by Fr. John Laux

That's a huge weak point for me. It's a good read, very easy but very thorough.

I've FINALLY finished the autobiography of Teresa of Jesus. Now to finish the Way of Perfection and the Interior Castle. I've ordered God the Joy of my Life by Teresa of the Andes and hope it arrives soon.

Next time I get to the library, I'll be checking that out! :woot:

I just read [i]Odd Thomas[/i] and really enjoyed it. :thumbsup: (I know, reading it out of order... oh well. Haha!)

Also recently finished [i]Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[/i]. 'Twas AWESOME. Definitely my favorite of the entire HP series (with [i]Goblet of Fire[/i] in a close second place).

Aaaand I'm currently reading [i]LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring[/i]. Love. It's like finally coming home again after a long journey away.

I also (like many of you it seems) have the habit of reading more than one book at a time:
[u]The Girl Who Played with Fire[/u] by Stieg Larsson

[u]Prayer Primer: Igniting a Fire Within[/u] by Thomas Dubay

Both are really good, especially Prayer Primer (not that I'm a beginner in prayer but it's definitely a good refresher), however I must admit Larsson's books can get so gruesome sometimes.

Does anyone know of any good devotional books to read as a couple? My husband and I are looking for one right now.

[i]Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body [/i]by Pope John Paul II (Pauline Books and Media, Boston)

and

[i]Sacrosanctum Concilium[/i]


Non-Religious:

[i]English Literature; the Norton Anthology[/i], Sixth Edition, Volume 2
(Actually, I don't recommend it. I'm more of a non-short-story, fantasy sort of person)
