First, Fr. James Martin, SJ, has this "spiritual memoir" about various saints that have been instrumental in his life. I am halfway through this - reading a chapter a night as I go to bed. This might be replaced as nighttime reading by the pope's new encyclical, Caritas in Veritate. But once I am through that, Fr. Martin will be back.
My non-theological, brain candy reads are Harry Potter related: Harry, A History and Mugglenet.com's Harry Potter Should Have Died should get me back in the mood to see "The Half-Blood Prince" next week. The other one that I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into (ahem) is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, because what could make a Victorian classic even better? Zombie mayhem!
So, I am off. I'll check in from time to time, but this is family time - vacation. I hope you all are getting some of that too!

You have interesting taste in literature, Father. I plan to tackle the pope's new encyclical sometime soon, but sad to say I'm not reading much these days. I think my brain is addled from the lacking of reading too. However, I *loved* Fr. Martin's "My Life with the Saints." Honestly, I adored that book a lot. I found that his stories about the various saints were easy to relate to and it was the kind of read, I needed when I discovered it.
I gave up on the Harry Potter books after the second. I like the stories, I think she's a pretty decent writer, but I guess I got lazy and I knew they'd all be made into movies, I just waited for the movies.
Is there really a Pride and Prejudice with Zombie Mayhem? That might be fun. A friend's daughter was in a production of "Zombie Prom" that was hysterical.
Enjoy your vacation!
