I am not giving a full review here, but just noting a couple of books I read recently.
Easy to Kill, another classic by Agatha Christie, was a reread for me. It’s not usually much fun to reread a mystery because you would already know whodunnit. But I forgot who the murderer was until half way through, so it still fun to read.
Spiritual Direction by Henri Nouwen is the first book that I’ve read through by Nouwen. And it’s not really written by him; it’s compiled by his student after his death. Nouwen’s books take a long time for me to read because they are so introspective and I have to think through the concepts rather than reading it superficially. Some really good insights about spiritual life in this book . I would quote them here, except I’ve already renewed it 3 times, and I had to return it to the library yesterday.
