This should have been my quarterly review at the end of September. I’ll just post what I’ve read for the year and upcoming plans. Currently reading the marvelous biography Catherine of Siena by Sigrid Undset, my second reading of this book. I don’t know how many of the currently and planned reads I will make. At a minimum I need to finish the St. Catherine biograohy and the first part of St. Augustine’s City of God. I can see I’m also way down on reading short stories this year.
