Today is the Feast of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco.

Doot doot!

I went to the library today and picked up some books:

• Diary of a Country Priest by Georges Bernanos. Title self-explanatory. Picked it up because the movie seemed interesting.
• Under Satan's Sun by Bernanos. His first novel, also about a young priest.
• The Violent Bear It Away by Flannery O'Connor. The last book of hers I haven't read.
• The Second Coming by Walker Percy. I simply had to get started on him sometime and I wasn't quite sure which to start with, so I grabbed one of the books of essays about him and looked to see which book got mentioned first. This was it. Other suggestions welcome.
• The Fortune of War by Patrick O'Brian.
• The Thirteen Gun Salute by Patrick O'Brian. Okay, so I'm reading boat books. They're literature, I swear.
