CreditsLately fellow bloggers have done a yeoman's job in directing me to instructive and/or pleasurable books. I'll have to take any future suggestions more seriously *grin*. In no particular order:
Steven Riddle recommended the engaging Randy Wayne White novel "Sanibel Flats". It's the pluperfect backyard hammock read. Jeff Culbreath recommended John Meehan's Two Towers, which I started Friday and has been surgically attached to me ever since. (I even brought it to Saturday night's "My Fair Lady"; my mother-in-law became briefly interested in it thinking it was about the New York tragedy.)Recently finished Frank Deford's marvelous biography of Christy Matthewson and John J. McGraw. Mark of "Irish Elk" recommended it after I'd already started reading it but still receives post-credit for his good taste. The book is so well-written that I looked in vain for another Deford offering, finally settling on Michael Sokolove's "Hustle: The Myth, Life, and Lies of Pete Rose" which looks to be a more depressing read than Deford's "Old Ball Game".Other recommendations that I have followed up on, in the sense of buying the book though shamefully not in having started yet:
Kathy the Recusant Carmelite: "The Persecutor" by Sergei Kourdakov
William 'The Quiet Man' Luse: "Joan of Arc" by John Beevers
Mama 'a book a day keeps the doc at bay' T: "A Green Journey" by Jon Hassler
Tom of Disputations: "A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist" by Abbot Vonier
Steven '20,000 Books Under the Bed' Riddle: "Nourished by the Word: Reading the Bible Contemplatively"
Bill 'Rock Star' White: "Modern Times" by Paul Johnson
