A roundup of what I'm reading right now and hope to finish in the next few weeks:


Moon Lander:  How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module
Written by Thomas Kelly, chief engineer on the LM team at Grumman, describes the whole project of developing the LM, from the early bids to be a subcontractor on the whole Apollo mission, to getting the LM contract, to design, testing, challenges, everything.  So good so far.  About 1/3 of the way through.  If you're into SPACE, science, or engineering, read this book.  If you're not, still read this book because it's amazing.


What to Listen for in Music
Recommended to me by a good friend, this book by Aaron Copland tells the reader what to listen for in classical music.  I still don't understand half the terms used, but it's a very good book.  I'm about halfway through it, and will re-read it again once I'm done to more "get" classical.  In the meantime, I'm back on the whole "listen to classical music on WFMT because they provide a free audio stream of their music on their website."

as nothing in my conscience troubles me
I am prepared for Fortune, come what may"

When duty called, we came;
When country called, we died."

Two excellent choices!  What translation of Purgatorio are you working with?

As for myself, I'm reading The Abacus and the Cross.

"And so, Lord, do you, who do give understanding to faith, give me, so far as you knowest it to be profitable, to understand that you are as we believe; and that you are that which we believe." -- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

"But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king." -- G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."  Baudelaire and Verbal Kint from The Usual Suspects

Angels and Demons by Joan(?) Cruz
I recently got that book as well. I haven't started it yet, as I'm more interested in the book that came with it (The Song of Songs, by Fr Arintero). Plus, I've never been all that curious about angels and devils, so I'm not sure if it would be very useful.

My husband and I just got that one in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to read it when he's done!

Remember, O Christian soul, that thou hast this day, and every day of thy life: God to glorify- Jesus to imitate- The Angels and Saints to invoke- A soul to save- A body to mortify- Sins to expiate- Virtues to acquire- Hell to avoid- Heaven to gain- Eternity to prepare for- Time to profit by- Neighbors to edify- The world to despise- Devils to combat- Passions to subdue- Death perhaps to suffer- Judgment to undergo.
