boomana Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 A must for everyone's holiday reading list. I have to buy a new one every year because I always give mine away. My fav story is "Dinah the Christmas Whore." It's really very touching as well as being hilarious.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 If one is going to mention holiday reading, I highly recommend Orson Scott Card, Lost Boys.

boomana Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Just finished Anthony De Mello's Awareness two days ago, started reading it again yesterday. I'm a huge Anthony De Mello fan, though fandom is not the right vibe. Some crazy-ass Jesuit priest in a Hawaiian shirt turned me onto him years ago. In the words of Ken36, good stuff.

grawk Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 True, but this guy was such a well-meaning lunatic, and a flaming queen to boot, I liked him immensely. I've loved every jesuit I've ever met. So that doesn't surprise me

Some crazy-ass Jesuit priest in a Hawaiian shirt turned me onto him years ago. In the words of Ken36, good stuff. Some crazy-ass but totally sane half holy man broken teacher turned me onto him. Its pretty much my favorite thing ever. Definitely "good stuff".

grawk Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 2 good recommendations, now I need to know which books to start with...
postjack Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 True, but this guy was such a well-meaning lunatic, and a flaming queen to boot, I liked him immensely. I can see his business card: Fr. John Doe Well-Meaning Flaming Queen Lunatic, S.J.
