What are you reading? March 26, 2005

I've invited patron/subscribers to the store's e-mail newsletter (sent out today) to give us their recent reading suggestions (or warnings). Adding your own comment to the list below is easy and painless and I'd like to see just how many of you will participate. If you so desire, you can remain essentially anonymous.

I'd love to make this a monthly feature.

I'm reading John Paul II: A Tribute in Words and Pictures, by Monsignor Virgilio Levi and Christine Allison. A timely read as the pontiff suffers, this book is filled with facts that I (not a Roman Catholic) never knew.

We're told, for example, that the Il Papa, an orphan by the age of 20, considers family to be at the core of the "civilization of love." As if we didn't already suspect that.
