It is supposed to be a wonderful work, I heard it quoted by a priest in a homily and have wanted to read it.

I look ...Wow ... you have a lot of reading to do. <br /><br />I look forward to your comments on The Imitation of Christ. I found it heavy going and can't take too much at a time. It can be read online FREE here: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1653<br /><br />God bless.

I really don't know what to expect. All I know is that after the Bible that's been the most read book in history. I looked up The Lord by Guardini and it sounds like it's either fascinating or slow reading. Should I bother?Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-77575172885275303122014-02-23T17:24:42.345-05:002014-02-23T17:24:42.345-05:00I love a questionnaire. :)
1. What book are you r...I love a questionnaire. :) <br />1. What book are you reading now? 33 Days to Morning Glory ( a Marion consecration)<br /><br />2. What book did you just finish? Hostile Witness, a courtroom drama/mystery, R. Forster, and The Life of Saint Lucy, Wyatt North<br /><br />3. What do you plan to read next? CS Lewis' science fiction trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength). -before Lent <br />Then during Lent, I want to read He Leadeth Me, by Fr. Walter Cziscek.<br /><br />4. What book do you keep meaning to finish? The Lord, Romano Guardini<br /><br />5. What book do you keep meaning to start? Utopia, St. Thomas More<br /><br />6. What is your current reading trend? Legal/courtroom thrillers<br /><br />ps. Manny, in my humble opinion, The Imitation of Christ, to me, is not something you can just read through. It has little sections with ultra-deep theological meaning. It's kind of like reading the Bible, a tiny bit every day. But then again, as much as I love reading, I don't take in nearly as much pithy material as you!<br /><br />Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.com
