Not an easy read, to be sure, but interesting. Attempting to get to the Trinity with philosophy rather than as simply a tenet of faith. Has to be kept in mind that this is the meditation of a monk, with the purpose of coming to love God the better, rather than as a pure speculative text.

Finished the Proslogion. I appreciate the monastic style. This is not so much an academic question of "does God exist?" so much as a search for everything that is good, true, and beautiful, what that really means, and how we can attain it.

Finished the Monologion. A much better book than I had been led to believe. It's less "the greatest thing we can come up with is God" and more the fact that we see good in life, but different things are better or worse, so there must be a hierarchy of good. That implies a superlative, the best, which is God. That best must be existing (as existence both is and is good). The best good is the most beautiful, etc.
