About meA young man who has read as long as he remembers being alive.
I enjoy opera, classic rock, and Japanese studies.
I like to work on:
www.saintsquotes.net
www.saintsprayers.net
www.saintsbooks.net
There're some great free books, prayers and quotations there. :)

It's always nice to have a visitor (re your comment about Farrow's Blessed Damien of Molokai). A Japanese writer and philosopher I greatly admire is Takashi Nagai, a Catholic of Nagasaki. I've read everything (there's not much unfortunately) I could find by him that's in English. Are you familiar with him?

Cabell fell out of favor quite a while ago, but Carter's Ballantine Adult Fantasy series made a lot of delightful things available again back when I was starting to read widely. There is a lot to be said for the style & wit of JBC!
