I just started reading Hamlet, for the first time. Downloaded it for free in my ipod touch..
Got the idea from watching Sons of Anarchy, and I heard somone say it was loosely based on the story of Hamlet. I am somewhat aware of the story in Hamlet in the generic sense, but I had never actually read the text before.

It is my solemn and firmly held belief that the Cristeros were an entirely unjustified group of egomaniacal sociopaths and that Mexico would be a far better place today had they simply purchased Xbox360 consoles and lived out their ridiculous fantasies via an imaginary fantasy gaming realm Forget your lust for the rich man's gold/ All that you need, is in your soul/ And you can do this, oh baby, if you try/ All that I want for you my son/ Is to be satisfied All that we are is a picture in a mirror, with fancy shoes to grace our feet. All that there is, is a slow road to freedom; Heaven above and the devil beneath. We're all in this thing together, walking a line between faith and fear, this life won't last forever - when you cry I taste the salt in your tears. |

"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

Since nobody else has said it yet, I'll say it: Right now, I'm reading this thread.  As for books, not reading anything right now. |

Crocker's Triumph (with the wife)
I like that book too. It's been some time since I read it, but I find Church history very interesting and dramatic. How do you like it? What I'm reading now: "What is a Museum?" *sigh* homework is so interesting...not |

IF I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin --Emily Dickinson
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Very well-written history, and he gives some bibliographical rec's for other well-written Church history, i.e. Msgr. Phillip Hughes, Daniel-Rops, etc. |

reverence, which one cannot
withhold, is
laid on lightly, with terror--as if
