Summer Hiatus

I will be gone for about seven to ten weeks. Hopefully I will still have Internet access at St. John's so I can continue to post. As you will find out, should it be successful, I have a lot to say.

Goodbye for now.

Introduction

I decided to create this blog to document my reading habits. I read lots of books, and I try to read mostly the Great Books - the ancient Greeks, the ancient Jews, the Classics. You know, the The Illiad, De Anima, The Bible, Urbs Deo, Summa Theologica, and the later Classics by authors like Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Kierkegaard, Nietsche, Freud, Jung, etc. My taste in books is almost as wide, if not wider, than my taste in music.

The last book I read was Dante's Divine Comedy, translated from the Old Italian into English by Dorothy Sayers. I'll write about that and selected works from the school year shortly. This post is mainly for me to get the feel of my site and see how it works.

With this blog, I will have my e-trinity. I have my Common Blog, which doesn't have a lot of interesting stuff, and then there's the other two, music and now books. So welcome and we'll have a great time discussing great books, great authors, and great ideas.

Excipio!
