Credo in Deum Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Finished: "The 12 Steps to Holiness and Salvation": From the Works of St. Alphonsus Liguori. 194 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Philosopher Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 OKAY FINE I'll do this too. Completed: The Moviegoer by Walker Percy - 241 pages City of the Chasch by Jack Vance - 152 pages (This is something of a gray area: City of the Chasch is the first novel in a series which was originally published separately, but now exists in one omnibus volume, "Planet of Adventure". Should I count the completion of each installment as a complete book, or wait until I've finished them all before it goes into this list?) I also read The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church by the Pontifical Biblical Commission. I seem to have misplaced my copy, but the page number was around 130ish, I think. Will give a more accurate number if it turns up again. In Progress: Peace, by Gene Wolfe (re-read.) Apollo's Angels: A History of Ballet, by Jennifer Homans Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, by Richard Bauckham My challenge novel: Middlemarch by George Eliot. I have tried and failed two times to complete it. But it is a pretty major novel in English lit, and as an ex-English major I feel obliged to put this notch on my belt.

AnneLine Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Welcome, NotThePhilosopher! I'd post each book of the series separately -- you'll be able to see the list grow that way! You can indicate that they are part of that series as you post 'em. Good luck on that challenge book... I get you! (As an ex World & Comparative Lit major... there are still major works of Lit I've never read... that is one of 'em....) I'm ALMOST done with the StarTrek book and chunking through St. Teresa's letters... which are like going through her email. How much junk... and how many great nuggets interspersed! Sheesh it is slow slugging! And still enjoying the Diary of a Hunted Priest! HEY -- last year we counted praying the Liturgy of the HOuors (LOTH) and I think we should count that again... How about 550 pages availalbe for Morning, Evening and Office of Readings... and a pro-rated share if you pray less than that? (That is what 3 months of that was like in Dec-Feb... so I am figuring this is comparable...) So.. .I'm putting on my list of books the LOTH credit in progress.... Anyone else have books in progress that they could slam through to push up our totals???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Wow, Carter... walking AND reading! Blink. Blink..... ! YOu know if you are looking for things to read, I think you would like historical based novels. You should try some of Norah Lofts and/or James Michener, Norah Lofts did some great stuff on Isabelle and Ferdinand of Spain (Crown of Aloes), Katharine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, and also a lot of hisctorical type fiction. James michener -- try something like Hawaii! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
