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 ...
by Evelyn Waugh
If you, like me, have been reared on tales of the second World War as the just and virtuous struggle of the "greatest generation", Evelyn Waugh's arch novels (based loosely on his own war experiences) are an important and darkly enjoyabl...

I want to work for that guy!

Foxfier,
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!
