AnneLine Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 OK... FINALLY finished some books (one advantage to being sick....) :stars: :x :bible: and made headway in some others! So.... Finished these.... Star Trek: Classic Episodes, Vol. 1, 25th anniversary edition, James Blish, ed. 656 pages I enjoyed reading them, but it is a little dated now... funny how we see sexism more now 25 years later..... but the basic stories are stilll beautiful and thoughtful.... still think The City at the Edge of Forever is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read.... Poor Banished Children: A Novel by Fiorella de Maria 299 pages This was the gift of a friend, and I have been reading it bits at a time over a few months. Solid book, but a little graphic in places for some people, I'm sure.... but still very powerful Catholic themes. Still working on the Diary of a Hunted Priest. Ironically is set in the same time period as Poor Banished Children... and they 'read well' together..... gimme a few more days to finish that one.... And I have read Banner in the Sky, Tigger60, and would like to read it again, so it is on my list! How is everyone else doing????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancilla Domini Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Do comic books count? :P (A friend of ours just brought over the entire Calvin and Hobbes collection. I figure, you know, if I'm reading it anyway, it might as well count on here. :hehe2:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi, Ancilla, Welll.... I guess if it is a multi-page book of comics, sure. If it is a 3 page book... not so much! However.... hmmm... we've counted kids books. SO I guess we can do comics. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not The Philosopher Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The Man Who Was Thursday, G.K. Chesterton That is perhaps my favourite novel. Every time I read it I always finish within a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
