    Recommend Bible Version

    I read the KJV and the NRSV. I like the King James best, though the only time I have read the bible all the way through from start to finish was the NIV because somebody had told me that it was the easiest to read. I honestly read A LOT so I couldn't say that it was "easier," but different...

    What do you listen to while reading?

    I do not always listen to music while I read, but most of the time, I have something on. I love to listen to Vivaldi's violin concertos.

    I bought a Kindle

    Is there a feature on the Kindle that allows you to take notes or underline or anything like that?

    recommended reading forum

    I was just cruising the forums looking for something like a recommended reading forum. How about it? Smart guidelines could make it something very much like a reader's fellowship library. Post the title of the book in the title of the thread. A little information about the author's...

    Amish country

    I was in Wisconsin for vacation last week and my family visited the Amish community around Cashton, WI. The land is so nice up there. It was a great visit.

    I know about not taking the Eucharist. Since, a friend of mine was with the group of us that went to the Cathedral in Chicago and her and a Catholic friend went up to get a blessing, but they gave them Communion instead...! She. Felt. Awful. for the mistake.

    first post hello and question

    I have read some of St. Augustine already, but I will probably wait to add City of God to my reading list. I am looking for a nice hardbound copy of The Confessions, though. I think I will look for something nice by St Therese or St Faustina. Thank you for the recommendations. I have...

    first post hello and question

    yeah, I meant lurking. VivoCristoRey, one of the reasons I wanted to become a Christian again (after about three years claiming not to be) was a conversation I had with a Nun on a bus ride. She also said that I should read anything that I can find by or about the Saints. Recommended St...
