This Book Changed my Life. Tolle, Lege.
This is a poetically dangerous book. I first read it some ten years ago, just after having graduated college, when I was emerging from my adolescent decadence & skepticism.. I was searching for understanding, for faith. The thought herein is so limpidly potent it made me high, like great poetry. It radically changed my thought & heart for good. For better. It made me actually embrace the ...

Best of the best
I wish I saw this novel on more Top 10 lists, but oh well. Nevertheless, I demand that you buy this book right now, and with the hefty discount Amazon is providing, you can't afford to pass this up! With a cover price of 30 beans, I can understand why some would balk initially at purchasing this, but now you have no excuse! Thirty percent off is the deal of the century for this book, and I ...

The Re-imaging of Cap for a New Generation
This book made me fall in love with comics all over again after about a 15 year absence (the release of the horrible G.I. Joe #50). If Marvel put out a hardcover book like this 'bout Cap every year I would buy it the day it was released. I love its "catalogue" feel. Like a Cap sampler. There's probably 2 chapters I could live without. The rest are pure joy. I also highly recommend Captain ...

Batman: Year One Hundred

Paul Pope

DC Comics, 2007

Brilliant. The negative reviews don't "get it"
This is not a book about a millionaire's exploits as a masked vigilante. Anyone who begins this book expecting something like Dark Knight Returns or your typical Batman story is looking at the book from the wrong perspective. What we have here is an amazing portrayal of the Batman as an ideal. A force that can't be stopped by age or oppression. It is not a story about a superhero in the public ...

Humanae Vitae: Encyclical Letter of His Holiness Paul VI

Pope Paul VI, Giovanni Battista Montini

Igna Books, 2002

Truth and Beauty
With barbarians at the gate (and many, sad to say, inside the gate) clamoring for moral license, Pope Paul VI responded with this famous encyclical reconfirming the Church's position on the regulation of births. It is a beautiful document that glorifies marriage and will inspire any couple to deeper, fuller spirituality. Anyone who is looking for understanding with regard to marriage, ...

pulpy
all in all a very cool book. being relatively new to pope (first through heavy liquid and batman 100, the best bat thing ever!) i find the book a very good intro to him, his ideas and thought process. he really seems to be on the path of re-creating / re-defining the "comic". the different essays throughout go from open self effacement to sadly comedic in his dealings with poss. employers and his ...

John II Paul, Pope John Paul II

God Bless JPII
I have to say that I had much inspiration from this book. Not because I like JPII (RIP), but because of the way he approached religion and society. Every person has his own way of looking at the world, and it is illuminating to read what the leader of the Catholic Church has to say.

"Two Wings of Truth"
In Fides et Ratio, Pope John Paul II is addressing Catholic bishops regarding the value and relationship philosophy holds in regards to theology. The purpose of the encyclical letter is to stem certain abusive tendencies among theologians that distort divine revelation and to urge a new interest in philosophy as a means of articulating Christian truth. Divine revelation by its very nature ...
