solitude sunday

solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book.

my time with heretics and heroes, thomas cahill's volume six in the hinges of history series, continues.  i continue to read about martin luther and thomas more. a major figure of the time is new to me, rabelais. i shall have to read about him in the future. he advised that people "live joyously"; sound advise. also present in the context of this time is ignatius loyola. like francis of assisi, he was born into wealth and power. like francis of assisi, he lived a life of privilege until that moment in his life's experience that began his conversion. he founded the jesuits.

what are you reading?  share your book with the whimsey project?
