The Little Way of
Saint Therese of Lisieux: Into the Arms of Love,
by John Nelson.
Therese--who died of tuberculosis at age 24 and was canonized less than 30
years later--was an unassuming woman who found great joy in her littleness.
This volume promises to be refreshing spiritual nourishment.

The Psychopath Test: A
Journey Through the Madness Industry,
by Jon Ronson. Ronson's recent
appearance on The Daily Show piqued my curiosity about the world of psychopaths,
which apparently intersects with that of the rest of us in more instances than
we realize.
