Finished reading: Lourdes Diary by James Martin 📚

Finished reading: Furious Minds by Laura K. Field 📚

Consider this book required reading for those interested in the extreme political theories that underlie the MAGA movement.

Finished reading: Steve Martin Writes the Written Word by Steve Martin 📚

Steve Martin is a national treasure. I hope to – one day – shake his hand.

Finished reading: Ambushed! by Gail Jarrow 📚

A nice YA companion to Death By Lightning, especially when no copies of Destiny of the Republic are available on Libby.

Finished reading: Opus by Gareth Gore 📚

The spiritual abuse chronicled in this book is just evil; including of course the alleged human trafficking.

Placing power & money over people is always wrong. Hopefully the church will be given the grace to overcome & correct these abuses.

Finished reading: The Bright Ages by Matthew Gabriele & David M. Perry 📚

A great primer on the dark ages (get it?). It is very accessible and has a great “Further Reading” section.

Finished reading: The American Way of Death Revisited by Jessica Mitford 📚

A good read about grave matters.

Finished reading: The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s by Paul Elie 📚

I was a kid in the 1980s & this book connected some important dots for me. I now better understand the groundwork for today’s culture wars and the crypto-religious nature of key artists & musicians.
