I have a translation that is in older language, which I like. I have heard of others liking the translations in modern English better.<br /><br />Wow those lists are long! From the Anchoress, I didn't recognize a whole lot. I also want to read a book by Fr. Walter J. Ciszek, He Leadeth Me. I always wanted to try Jesus of Nazareth, too, but I don;t think this year, as I am already full to overflowing. I also just heard about Mercy in the City, and want to read that...sometime.<br />The Happy Catholic List, I found interesting, and... strange? I can understand Lord of the Rings, but Harry Potter? I'm sure she has some reason. Don't get me wrong, I read all the books and enjoyed them, and don't see the supposed danger there, but as spiritual reading for Lent? <br />I just finished the Space Trilogy. Love it! <br />I posted my reading list over on my blog. The only addition I am making is Father Z's daily Lentcast. They are fantastic. I download them to my phone, and can listen to them while I wait places, etc.<br />I will probably come back and refer to your list when I am ready for more reading material! Some of them look really good.<br />Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.com
