Why is it?

[quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Sep 19 2005, 09:39 AM']Yep.... Most of us don't have the time to dig deep. By the time the kiddos are in bed, my brain is so tired I can barely make heads or tails out of the Debate Table. I loved deep reading in college. But who has the luxury to read it now?  My main focus is how to get my children (and the children I teach in CCD and Little Flowers) to understand and live the Gospel. It'd be great to build a tent and live on the mountain reading all the time but Christ sent the apostles down off the mountaintop.

Yeah, I have the same trouble, and I don't even have kids. I'd love to be able to focus more on learning theology, and understanding the complexities of it, but more often when I've got time to read I find myself drifting towards using different areas of my brain. Lately, for example, I've been reading young adult fantasy novels, like Eldest and Ursula LeGuin books.

My brain just hasn't been up to heavy lifting.

Yep. Somebody has to keep all these"heavy thinkers" fed and watered, and [hopefully] bathed.

You could try alibris
For the most part they're "lightly used" but cheap. I just checked most are under or around twenty dollars however, Philosophy was 78
www.alibris.com
