I can assure you that no one is more disappointed than me in my apparent lack of progress on this front. It has been a rough month. However, I did finish a book for the aforementioned Western Civ. that I might as well summarize:

———

1. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
2. Between Heaven and Hell by Peter Kreeft
3. The Naked Voice by W. Stephen Smith
3.5 The Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan

I jokingly said that a book on D-Day could not be terribly interesting, as I already knew the ending, but this one kept my attention. Given, I read the book in under 48 hours because it was assigned, but through the frenzied tearing through pages, I really enjoyed the more personal look at June 6, 1944. It was a very human account, making a war that I did not fight seem much more real, which is the goal of any historian, I’m certain.

4. The Hunt For Red October by Tom Clancy
5. The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
6. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
