catholic novel reading list

Silence, by Shusaku Endo.
Mariette in Ecstasy, by Ron Hansen
Beloved, by Toni Morrison.
The Lieutenant, by Andre Dubus.
The Last Gentleman by Walker Percy
Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner.
The Power and the Glory, by Graham Greene.

Today, for the first time in 17 months, we watched a little bit of television. Our antenna is not terrific and I got bored of the Sunday afternoon sitcom patter within 2 minutes. Canned track + 38-word joke buildup = weak.
