Here's some more that has little to do with what came before
I'm posting it by itself because it is a subplot that is connected to the plot, but the subplot is finished and the plot is not.

More Recommended Reading
It's Lewis that time. I just read That Hideous Strength in a three-to-four day reading whirlwind. There were times when I even sneaked it into Holy Hour! :)
Anyway, it's quite good. And, unlike Chesterton's "novels", it's a bit believable.

On WWI
I read my first Christopher Dawson book over the weekend, 'The Judgement of Nations.'
It's like a scholarly but dry summary of all of Chesterton's essays on WWI, the spirit of Europe, and the League of Nations. Plus information on secularization, religous freedom, and the dangers of Leuthearism.

All you Harry Potter Fans...And I know there's at least one on this blog...
You Might Like This
It's my attempt to write a story with a plot line somewhat similar to the plot of HP and the sorcerer's stone (as I understand it; I haven't actually read it): a boy is taken from his home to be schooled in the ways of magic, learns the magic (with all the technichal details included), and then uses it to battle evil. I have tried to go as close as possible to what makes HP attractive, while at the same time, get rid of what some people find bothersome: I make the good magic implicitly sacramental and the bad magic explicitly occultic (without dangerous real-world occult details). But I haven't gotten to the technichal details yet, so you can read just for fun...for now.
Tell me what you think. Is it Chestertonian? Is it interesting? Am I totally ruining something you love?

What a Dead Buddhist Spasm looks like
Sorry I didn't describe better. Here's a "description."
He did not get this idea from me! He made up this thing himself.

Insipred by the daily quote to your left...
"Buddhism is not a creed, it is a doubt."
Poor Buddhists. When my five-year old hyper-sanguine brother does his hilarious "Dead Buddhist" spasm, they can't even do anything but doubt it.
