"Few men make themselves masters of the things they write and speak." - John Selden
Lord Jesus think on me,
And purge away my sin,
From earthborn passion set me free,
And make me pure within.
What are you now reading?Anonymous
That’s a great question and I am more than happy to tell you.
For School I am currently reading Dante’s Divine Comedy, The Rule of Saint Benedict, Discarded Image by C.S. Lewis, Euclid book V, The New Testament in Greek, and a few other little complimentary texts.
For pleasure when I have time, I am reading A Gleaming Cohort by G.K.C., The Red Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang, The House At Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne, Her Hand in Marriage by Douglas Wilson, and since it is January, I need to pick up Orthodoxy by Chesterton and read that again.
I wish I had a lot of time to read all these books quickly or at least not in piecemeal, but the only books I am reading quickly are the ones for school because it is necessary. It takes a long time to finish the books I have for pleasure.
Now it is your turn. What are you reading currently?
Just don’t tell them I’ve gone crazy….

I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
By this I know assuredly that I am loved by thee.
Because my foe does not exult in triumph over me.
Lying in bed would be an altogether supreme experience if one only had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.

Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.
