Books we are reading

Clare just read The Importance of Being Earnest. She and some friends are planning to stage it. She wants me to read it, too. Update: DONE!
My reading:

John Paul the Great by Peggy Noonan. Just finished while on vacation. Very good book.
Montessori Today

continuing Idea of a University by John Henry Newman.

Lhomond’s Epitome Historiae Sacrae — I try to read and translate one section per day.

At my mother in law’s cabin there are piles of old comics from the 60’s and 70’s. Kieron and Sean spent hours reading these — Supermans, et al. Cultural literacy!
A basket has become a fixture next to my bed and I keep Aidan and Paddy’s books in it. This works great because they naturally browse through and ask me to read regularly. I can change the books in there every so often and add new ones. Funny how often these very simple things can make a big difference.

I’m not sure what Brendan has been reading. Most of the time he is working on his football league statistics.
