Notes to self: A good year, reading-wise, in the sense that I didn't read anything I didn't like, except for Metaxas' Luther, which was disappointing after I'd liked his Bonhoeffer so much. I thought Luther was self-indulgent, and Metaxas should have decreased while Luther increased. But this was the year of the discovery of Wallace Stegner -- gorgeous prose-- and of being amused by Hitchhiker, which I've avoided for decades, sure that it would annoy me. Read the bio of St. Damien because we were able to make a pilgrimage to Molokai. Re-read the marriage and family encyclicals in order to give shape to a project for work, and read the rest while on annual Spiritual Exercises -- my slow bid to catch up to the JP II encyclicals I've never read because they pre-date my entrance into the Church. Learned a tremendous amount from Good Profit, and Churchill's Trial was my favorite book of the year.
