Covid continues to boost the amount of reading I do, or perhaps it's aging and and being more sedentary year by year. By and large this was an excellent list, and most I would read again, with the exception of those listed at the bottom of this post.
In My Time - Cheney
The Saint Monica Club - Second Reading - Green
Decision Points - Bush
Into the Deep - An Unlikely Catholic Conversion - Favale
Boots on the Ground - Marciano
A Prayer for Owen Meany - Irving
War and Peace - Tolstoy
Sinners in the Presence of a Loving God: An Essay on the Problem of Hell - Manis
John James Audubon: The Making of an American - Rhodes
The Saint Monica Club - Green
The Day the Revolution Began: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesus's Crucifixion - Wright
Atonement - Stump
Where Nobody Knows your Name - Life in the Minor Leagues of Baseball - Feinstein
By What Authority - An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition - Shea
11-22-63 - King
Shoe Dog - Knight
The Count of Monte Christo - Dumas
Holy Bible - RSV - with Apocrypha
How to be a Grandfather - Hugo
Of Plymouth Plantation - William Bradford
The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus - Whiston translation
The Dreaded Thirteenth Tennessee Union Cavalry - Storie
Les Miserables - Hugo
Moby Dick - Melville
Untitled Draft of a Novel - Jones
Worst of the bunch - would not read again
Moby Dick - Herman Melville, My expectations were too high. I was expecting it to be a book about hunting for a great white whale, which was about 10% of the book. See my previous post. Quite boring.
How to be a Grandfather - Hugo. The author wrote one of my favorite books, Les Miserables. This book of "poems", has nothing to do with being a Grandfather and little to do with his grandchildren. A collection of bad poems written by a grumpy old man who hated the Catholic Church and thought people reading this book would want to know that. I will pray for your soul, Victor
