Good Catholic literature?
The other night I was in a bar with an American Jesuit, an Italian Dominican, and a Polish Nietzsche scholar (that sounds like the start of a bad joke, doesn't it?) and the talk turned to favourite books.
The Dominican said, "I have heard one of my fellow brothers say that you only need two books, the Bible and the Summa Theologica, but I think that's going a little far." He paused, meditatively. "I would say you need The Lord of the Rings, too."
On that note, here is the - alleged - Big Read reading meme, though as others have pointed out, the list that's circulating on LJ is not the original one, and has a glaring problem.
