The Four Loves by CS Lewis

SUCH a worthwhile book. CS Lewis articulates what I'd only thought about thinking. At times a bit abstract for my limited mind, but I still appreciated it so very much. It makes good points about the nature of love, which with the limited tool of English, would make my attitude toward ice cream seem comparable to God's very nature... I'll read this one again one day and love it even more.

Zorro by Isabel Allende


"I swear to defend the weak and fight for justice!"


Oh if only it were as seamless an adventure as this narrative makes it... But there is a lot said here about what motivates a "hero" and I appreciate that it supports the idea that no one is perfect, but it sure shows how alluring and inspiring it is to hear of someone doing something.
