The First Year Ends, Another Begins

Literary Compass is a year old today! It's been 365 days since I first began blogging with this overlong post about Tolkien's influence on my life. In the past year I've learned a lot about myself, about writing, and about books. I appreciate everyone who's supported Literary Compass by subscribing, commenting and linking back. Your support keeps me writing on those days when I don't quite feel like it. To mark today's occasion, I've put together two lists. First, a list of the most popular posts of the past year, and second, a list of posts that I think were overlooked the first time through and which might deserve a second chance. Enjoy! Most popular posts of the past year (in descending order): 101 Essential Web Sites for Readers of Literature Literary Testosterone: 30 Must-Read Classics for Teenage Boys 10 Best Books for New Catholics Top 5 Websites for a Deserted Island Introduction to Nick's Catholic Classics Reading List 45 Important Movies as Chosen by the Vatican Prayer for a Busy Life by St. Teresa of Avila ROMAN Reading: 5 Practical Skills for Transforming Your Life through Literature How to Turn a Book into a Treasured Heirloom What if Tolkien Wrote Stairway to Heaven?
