“I collect books just as others store grain….”
From the Laudator comes something with which I can sympathize:
Yuan Mei (1716–1797), Book Storage, tr. J.D.Schmidt:
I collect books just as others store grain,
And bitterly complain I don’t have enough granaries.
In order to make space for a myriad ancient men,
I end … Continue reading

Wherein My Book Sorting Continueth: “How many branches of wax-candle light, How many drops of weary heart’s blood!
My book culling goes apace. One of the things I went through today were books on China and on poetry. On that note, I saw this on the site of the Laudator:
A poem by Yuan Mei (1716–1797), tr. Arthur … Continue reading
Of Darwinian Struggles and The De-Selection of Dear Friends
I think it was the comedian George Carlin who said that looking for happiness in possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches to your body.

“I am satisfied so long as I keep my books closed”
From the estimable Laudator:
By Yuan Mei (1716–1797), tr. J.D.Schmidt:
I am satisfied so long as I keep my books closed,
But I start to worry, when I open their covers.
The books are long, but the day is short;
I feel like an ant … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Latin Liturgy of the Hours – Vatican Press or Midwest Theological Forum?
From a clerical reader:
I was wondering about different editions of the same Liturgia Horarum; I want to get the most recent editio tipico (2000 not 1962) but which is the best edition?
I found two editions online but I cannot really … Continue reading
What’s on your reading/listening list right now?

Stacks
This is the stack on my desk at my left elbow.
And this isn’t even my “to read” stack!
You can tell I was working on something at the time these started to pile up.

I have a lot of books. I know an old priest who has even more. A LOT more. One of these days his library will have to be cataloged.
What am I saying… MINE has to be cataloged!

Reading certain things in certain places
The great Laudator has a fun entry today about the best places in which to read certain authors.
I resonate mightily with this a amusing post, since I have fond memories of a summer sitting in the sun reading 19th c. … Continue reading

WDTPRS: Writing in your books
I love books. I enjoy and use books (cf. utor and fruor). I might actually have too many books.
(Hmmm… Possible?)
I also write in books.
I write in my own books, occasionally, depending on the book. I often read with pen or … Continue reading
