Read and Reading Material

Listed are items I wish to read and have read. A nice recourse to vanquish boredom.

Here's a tentative monthly reading schedule of daily and bedtime reading. I additionally hope to read one journal or encyclopedia article per week.

I'm trying to read 15 minutes daily from the Japanese reading practice book, 外国人のための日本語読本「初級１」.

Most of the books I intend to read first come recommended by both Bob Lockwood (historian) and Fr. McCloskey. Many consider them classics, and so I should be remiss if I did not read them as soon as possible.

As to more than these, my son, beware. Of the making of many books there is no end, and in much study there is weariness for the flesh. ⁷The last word, when all is heard: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is man's all; because God will bring to judgment every work, with all its hidden qualities, whether good or bad. — Ecclesiastes 12.12-14

Footnotes: ⁷ [13] Man's all: St. Jerome explains: Unto this is every man born that, knowing his Maker, he may revere him in fear, honor, and the observance of his commandments.

Never read books you aren't sure about morally, even supposing that these bad books are very well written from a literary point of view. Let me ask you this: Would you drink something you knew was poisoned just because it was offered to you in a golden cup? — St. John Bosco

Significant Days

The Catholic Church has numerous feast days celebrating some great event, and memorials of holy men and women. I try to start my day by reading about them, as they are specified by the United States' Conference of Catholic Bishops. This way I learn history and add significance to my daily life.

Material I'm no longer interested in reading, but which may be useful for someone:

• Study Guide to Evangelium Vitae. The Gospel of Life. An encyclical by His Holiness Pope John Paul II by Russell Shaw

Do not go jumping about from one book of spiritual reading to another, nor begin by reading the end. We enjoy variety in what we read, but perseverance in reading is what brings us profit.

— St. Alonso de Orozco
