Reading it now will be a bit different, I expect. Notice that's a bio about Edith Stein, not her own writings, so, hopefully, it will be easier going. :-) I've heard wacky things about Merton, but I think this one is okay. <br /><br />I wish I could always knit and read! I should check for some more books on Overdrive.

Heavy stuff, sister. I don't need to read Les Miserables before I die, not interested. Edith Stein is super heavy, interesting, but sometimes completely confusing. She was complex, that one. I like the looks of the one about St. Therese. Thomas Merton scares me. We read a reflection by him at the end of the recent RCIA retreat and it was way too far out. It was offensive. The heads of the other few conservative Catholics and I almost almost exploded. Yikes!<br /><br />I have a lot of my list, too. Maybe I'll do a post. Though I can't knit and read like some people ;-), so I am at the mercy of what's on audio. I need a lot more light reading than you do!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172588600946128888.post-47350409893179761892014-01-28T11:02:16.745-05:002014-01-28T11:02:16.745-05:00You are like me!
