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...
by Henry James
I'd never read any Henry James before, though I did see the Nicole Kidman movie adaptation of Portrait of a Lady some years ago because... well, because it was a costume drama with Nicole Kidman in it.
This was one of those novels I ...

If you're not normally a Scotch drinker, Glenlivet is good but you might find it a little easier to start with a sherry cask Scotch rather than a bourbon cask Scotch. Macallan is a good example thereof.
On the other hand, if you're already fond of wiskeys and bourbon's, you'll probably be just fine with any decent Scotch.
Thank you!
