Lions and Percy

We have some new books in hand. Jacob has started "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." He's anxious to see the movie which is not allowed until he's met Aslan in the pages.

For me, it's Walker Percy's "The Moviegoer." I read a book my sister got me last year called "The Life you Save Could be your Own." It's about the intersecting narratives of major Catholic personalities Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton. They were contemporaries and the book is one of the best I have ever read.

Percy was the only one of the four I hadn't read so I am starting out with his first novel. We'll report back when we're done!
