I'd like to know your opinion on this book.  It's big among young high school students, but I'd like to have a grown-up's take on it.

A friend recommended it to me.  I'm not usually into adolescent lit.

I'm currently reading 'On The Incarnation' by St Athanasius of Alexandria, and also slowly reading through about 20 other books for university assignments...

I'm finally reading "Windswept House."  Very disturbing.

I'm not usually sold on popular fantasy and when a friend summarized it for me I thought it sounded awful ("the government forces teenagers to play a game where they fight to the death"). But another friend recommended it as well and lent it to me. It was different from what I was expecting but not different from any other post-WWIII YA novel. I had trouble relating to the main character. She's likable but not particularly open. She doesn't know herself so the reader can't get to know her either. I picked up the next to at the library so I'll let you know how they go. I read it too fast to think about style or quality. The plot moved but the writing was nothing extraordinary.

"Distributive Justice" by Fr. John Ryan. Trying to get a better grasp of this whole distributism thing. Going to contrast it with Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson." Should be fun.
