emalpaiz Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I am reading the works of St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) in the original Spanish. Very tough reading, but very interesting. St. John of the Cross was a real master of the contemplative life.I am also reading and studying the Qur'an (an English translation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colly Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) I read science fiction. Lots of it. Last week was C.J.Cherryh's 'Soul Rider' series. This week I'm re-reading Jack Chalker's books about the Well of Souls. In between, I read Margaret Balls "Mathemagics" and today I just checked out Andre Norton's "Uncharted Stars" and "the Zero Stone", and also Robert Holdstock's "Eye among the blind". I usually read between 5 & 7 books a week, so next week I'll have a different answer, though it will still be mostly sci-fi or fantasy stories. My favorite living author is probably Catherine Asaro and the sci-fi's she's written. My favorite all-time author will always be Robert Heinlein although my favorite series of books wasn't by him, it was the Lensman series by e.e.'doc' smith which should always be given as the best example of a the classic written space opera sci-fi. Laced throughout with the battle between good and evil, the Lensman series should also appeal to many in this reading room who might like a break from some of the weightier tomes I've seen listed here. Also, reading the sociology written between the lines in stories like C.J. Cherryh's 'Soul Rider' series should prove interesting. These are more thought provoking books than the Lensman series. I've also read the entire Mission Earth series although I had to visit 4 libraries to get all the books and it took me nearly two weeks to read though all 10 volumes. Great action-packed sci-fi's even if the action was moving so fast I'd get dizzy trying to recall exactly what happened in the 10 volumes.Now that I'm retired I get to read anything I want and re-read many of my old favorites.-----------Books: the cheapest time & space machines ever invented.

It's is interesting to see how women are treated in countries where there is no feminine aspect of the Divine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Quilter Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Stranger in a Strange Land ~ Robert A. Heinlein (for about the hundredth time...) Can ya tell me a little about this one? I remember the title but can't remember if I read it or if someone told me about it.I started reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail after I finished Da Vinci Code. Finally got I-Ching the Tao of Drumming which I waited about 4 months to come in so will start reading that soon. Have been reading Built-Ins, Storage & Spacemaking. Am currently focusing more time & energy on rearranging furniture & redecorating the house, waiting for the temperature to warm up so I can complete my refinishing jobs on a dresser & a couple other pieces. Have a whole bunch of books piled up & waiting to be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
