We had a tie between A Canticle for Leibowitz and Under an Orange Sky, so both books were tossed into the randomizer which selected A Canticle for Leibowitz, by Walter M. Miller Jr. as our September BOTM.

The full tally is as follows:

A Canticle for Leibowitz 3
Under an Orange Sky 3
The Life of St. Catherine of Sienna 2
Ad Limina 1
Champions of the Rosary 1
Church of Spies 1
Life and Select Works of Peter of Alcantara 1
A Martyr for the Truth 1
A Postcard from the Volcano 1
Reasonable Pleasures 1
Return to Order 1
Toward the Gleam 1
Looking for the King 0
On the God of the Christians 0
Past Suspicion 0

Looking for the King is protected this month, so the other two books were tossed into the randomizer which selected Past Suspicion to be removed from next month's list.

The two new books to be added to the nominations list next month will be Second Friends: C.S. Lewis and Ronald Knox in Conversation, by Milton Walsh and Treatise on Prayer and Meditation, by Peter of Alcantara.

I look forward to reading Canticle again, but in the meantime, still lots of time to discuss Chesterton and Aquinas.

Just a note on how I intend to do discussion questions for this. I already own this book, but it is in my home in Florida. I have requested a copy from the local library, but it doesn't seem likely to arrive in time. I have to fly down to Florida mid-September, so it doesn't make sense to me to buy another copy of the book.

I have found multiple lists of discussion questions, so I will post those on or about the 1st of September. I will read the book when I get my hands on my copy and will join in the discussion then.
