Catholic Thought discussion

With an eye toward not having a gap between reads, I’m going to lay out a tentative reading and discussion plan for our next read, which was predetermined to be Heart of Joy by Mother Teresa. If you all remember, because of the confusion in the runoff polls between Mark Twain’s Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc and Heart of Joy, we decided that both would get read.

How is this for a plan? Mother Teresa’s book is about 150 pages long. I was perusing it earlier today, and I think it reads fast. So I think three weeks of fifty pages each is about right. The last section of the Joan of Arc book to be read was set for the 17th through the 23rd of September, and the following week would be set aside for discussion. We can start reading Heart of Joy during the last week of the Joan of Arc discussion. So here’s what I’m proposing:

Week 1: Introduction, Chapters 1 – 6, September 24th thru 30th
Week 2: Chapters 7 & 8, October 1st thru 7th
Week 3: Chapters 9 – 11, Appendixes, October 8th thru 14th

Let me know if you think this is acceptable. This book was a bit hard to get, so I hope everyone has started obtaining it. From what I perused earlier, I think you’ll enjoy the read.

Sounds good to me! Luckily my mother in law got me a copy for my birthday, so I'm all set.

That's great Colleen.

That looks good to me, Manny. And thanks for posting this - it reminded me to track down a copy. My library in Florida doesn't have a copy so I ordered it from a used bookseller - $6 with free shipping. I should have it in time.

Works for me

Found a used copy on amazon? Looks like a great read!
