Julie,

Great answers! I love that painting! I have never seen it before nor have I heard of the artist. Thanks for expanding my knowledge of the world of Catholic art.

Caravaggio and Mozart, yes!

I enjoyed the movie "In the House of Brede", but haven't read the book. Are they very different? Would you happen to have a review on your blog?

I'll look into bringing the book into the store.

I'm with you on "In This House of Brede" - that book stayed with me all the years I was away from faith. My giveaway book: "Invitation to the Devout Life" by St. Frances de Sales. Fave musical: probably Music Man, but I love the music from Guys and Dolls. Favorite male Catholic musician: John Michael Talbot was really important to my first years back in faith, but you have to like 70's-style folk rock to like him.

I do like that painting too. Beautiful. Thanks for the tag! And now I'm definitely going to have to read "In This House of Brede".

TSO, I wonder if In This House is a chick book. It might be. You'll have to let us know.

(The heck with PCness: I think there is such a thing as a "guy book" or a "chick book" just like movies of the same division.)

It never occurred to me to thing of Brede as a chick book (and of course there are such things as guy books and chick books ... but just as I like a lot of so-called "guy books" there are guys who like chick books ... for instance Steven Riddle won my admiration forever by 'fessing up to reading Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen. )

One of my favorite quotes to say to the kids: "Good night, good work, most likely kill you in the morning."

Monica, keep those Dread Pirate Roberts quotes coming.

I wonder if chicks can enjoy guy books more easily than guys can enjoy chick books?

I really liked the whole espionage series by Tom Clancy and I consider those to be guy books with hair on their little chests. But would a guy read "I Know This Much Is True?" or "Wuthering Heights" for that matter?
Therese Z | 01.23.07 - 10:58 am | #

I'm the same way ... with quite a few "guy" books.

My husband was the first to read it in our house-- I read it much later, but led discussions about it in my lit groups at least two times. I believe the film is good and it actually brings out some interesting points even if not completely faithful to the book.

I love this blog--may follow up on this meme on my blog--I have a question: what about all of those blogs in blue on the sidebar?
