Man, I feel like I'm truly a slow reader compared to everyone here!

I planned and finished reading: Talon
It was okay, but a solid read.

I'm hoping to finish: Who Gave Sleep and Who Has Taken It Away?
Very interesting so far!


message 17: by Kevin (new)

Kevin L.  Porter | 2 comments “Disturbance In The Faith: A Poetic Love Story” is not a collection — it’s a singular, continuous poetic experience.

Told in one flowing poem, this book invites you into the emotional and spiritual tension of a soul navigating love, longing, and the quiet struggle to hold onto faith when everything feels uncertain.

🕊️ What happens when devotion meets doubt?
Through vivid imagery, emotional vulnerability, and lyrical rhythm, author Kevin L. Porter delivers a poetic confession — a love story wrapped in spiritual warfare, heartfelt honesty, and hope.


message 18: by Peter (new)

Peter Koronaios | 1 comments Looking at older books, and going though one Catholic book, called The Technological Society, which looks at how modern thinking adjust our way of thinking. It is a slog reading, as it is very dense in thought, but it leads me to think more about how modern life affects my thought. It is a 'university lecture' adaptation, maybe, of C. S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, which also say how (in that case) a demon can change a person's thinking, while here is it is modern thinking and the way of life changes how we think.
