FRONTLINES
Summer reads with Father Garanzini
This summer I have some catch-up to do, and I’ve selected some things that are light, for travel. Several books sent by friends whom I trust are high on my list of the summer 10.
(1) The Cult of the Saints: Its Rise and Unction in Latin Christianity by Peter Brown is a classic and I’ve never read it. My friend, Judge Thomas Donnelly, loaned me his copy. (2) Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation by Jonathan Lear was given to me by John Hardt, our assistant for mission and identity. (3) Hearing the Call from Across the Traditions: Readings in Faith and Service, edited by Adam Davis with a forward by Eboo Patel, who spoke at our graduation, was given to me by Patrick Greene, our director of service learning. (4) The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and (5) The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle were both given to me by Father Justin Daffron and were considered for the freshman summer read. Ultimately, we chose This I Believe, which I read over Easter. (6) The Evolution of God by Robert Wright, recommended by Regent Barry McCabe, and (7) The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions by Karen Armstrong are books I am eager to delve into because I so much appreciated Armstrong’s The Case for God, which I read over Christmas. Finally, three books just for fun: (8) Sometimes the Soul: Two Novels of Sicily by Gioia Timpanelli and (9) Little Novels of Sicily by Giovanni Verga are two books I will read in Sicily while visiting relatives. And (10) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I don’t want to be the only person who has not read it.
