Read and Reading Material

I list here items I wish to read and have read. A nice recourse to vanquish boredom.

As to more than these, my son, beware. Of the making of many books there is no end, and in much study there is weariness for the flesh. 7The last word, when all is heard: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is man's all; because God will bring to judgment every work, with all its hidden qualities, whether good or bad. — Ecclesiastes 12.12-14

Footnotes: 7 [13] Man's all: St. Jerome explains: Unto this is every man born that, knowing his Maker, he may revere him in fear, honor, and the observance of his commandments.

Never read books you aren't sure about morally, even supposing that these bad books are very well written from a literary point of view. Let me ask you this: Would you drink something you knew was poisoned just because it was offered to you in a golden cup? — St. John Bosco
