djc08 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 what kind of books are you into? I love to just browse Barnes and Noble. I could live there.
beatty07 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Do any of these strike a chord? Novels: The Space Trilogy, C.S. Lewis The Brothers Karamazov or anything Dostoevsky Epics: The Oddysey, Homer The Ballad of the White Horse, Chesterton Spiritual Life: The Interior Castle, Teresa of Avila The Cloud of Unknowing, author unknown Humor: anything by Patrick McManus anything by John Spong
Era Might Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 "The Sunday Sermons of St. Alphonsus Liguori", published by TAN. His sermons are excellent, particularly if you want an extended reality check on your soul.
Ora et Labora Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Oh dude! Regina Doman is editing a books about a 17 year year old! She is awesome! She helped me a lot and still does when it comes to chastity, purity and Catholocism. Do to her websites: JohnpaulIIhigh.com or reginadoman.com to log on to the previouse site. (Cuz I dont know if I did the first one right.) Go for it, Sam! ttyl! Your friend in Christ, Kristina

Fides_et_Ratio Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 "Fides et Ratio" by John Paul II (it's technically an encyclical) "Called to Communion" by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) ... actually, all of his books rock, you can't go wrong. "Love Alone is Credible" Hans Urs Von Balthasar "True Devotion to Mary" St. Lous de Montfort "Ascent of Mount Carmel & Dark Night of the Soul" by St. John of the Cross (he rocks)
jezic Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Confessions of Saint Augustine The Seven Story Mountain Peirced by a Sword Padre Pio Man of Hope (Allegri) any of C.S. Lewis's works Anything by Tolkien

Ora et Labora Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Read "How to read a book" first...it taught me so much and made me appreciate the author and what he was trying to say a lot more! I'll get the author for you.....its great. Then after that...read the CLASSICS!!! (Except Great Expectations...I'm reading that now...pray I finish it!)

Cow of Shame Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) Try [u]Ender's Game[/u] by Orson Scott Card or anything by Terry Pratchett. Jim Butcher is a really fun read, too. Edited December 5, 2005 by Cow of Shame
