Darwin's Recent Reading
With the Catholic News sites discussing the Vatican's move to reform the LCWR, I pulled this slim volume written back in 1986 off the shelf to re-read. It's a quick and amusing read: a satirical view of the breakdown and renewal of reli...

This was one of those novels I ...

“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.” Erasmus

Ohmigosh! I was just about to post that cartoon on my blog, it so perfectly captured our family's philosophy of library building.
Oh that is so me.
I don't know what you guys are talking about
(dodges books falling over from library).
