Any good books you recommend?

I want to read Narnia, 7 Secrets of the Eucharist, Four Loves by C.S. Lewis, Common Sense 101 by G.K. Chesterton, Weight of Glory, reread my boy Ron Clark, and some others I can't think of right now

Also, does anyone know anything about "Rediscovering Catholicism" by Matthew Kelly?

:)

It's good, but it's written for people who are just starting to delve into their faith. (So it'd probably have some good tidbits, but wouldn't be earth shattering for where tyou are.) I recommend "The Dream Manager" by him and the one he wrote on the different types of love (name is slipping my mind...).

so my books to reccomend are not theology based, but I think you'd love them.

Bill Bryson is an author that writes great travelouges: A Walk in the Woods is really good about hiking the AT. ALso, "I'm a stranger here myself" is really good too. He also wrote a book called "A short History of nearly everything" which is the history of science but readable. Like really readable. I sort of understand physics now...

Also! I'm currently reading this book called "The sex lives of cannibals" by J. Maarten Troost. He got his masters, had a quarter life crisis and moved with his fiancee to an Atol in the equatorial Pacific. It is hysterical, and really interesting as you never really hear about that corner of the world.
