Reading the Great Books from a Catholic Point of View
A book is a literary compass that has the potential to direct our thoughts and actions:
"Everything we read stimulates our mind to think, and what we think determines what we desire, and desires are the seedbed of our actions. Given this iron law of human nature--from reading to thinking, to desiring, to acting--we are shaping our destiny by the ideas we choose to have enter our minds through print." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan
Welcome to my own personal exploration of life through reading the great books of the world.
"Every soul that uplifts itself uplifts the world." --Elisabeth Leseur

Thank you for the mention.
I grabbed The Hero with a Thousand Faces to help me write those ginormous Bone essays. I'm almost through it, though I may have to leave it at the library when I move and pick it up somewhere else. I'll review it when I do; I'm having trouble: Campbell's not the most lucid writer, and I don't go for all that psychoanalytical stuff.
