Well... Yours truly is now a distinguished graduate of a small and fairly historic southern university. Quite an honor, etc. except, somehow, having a BA after my name doesn't seem to be doing much good in the job search. Silly employers! I'm considering a vocation to the priesthood but it certainly isn't something I want to jump into!
Ah well. I suppose that, compared to others, I have nothing really to complain about. I don't have much to report on the Catholic front right now. Once I get back into the blogging swing of things I'm sure I'll be back with something more constructive.
However, at the moment if anyone could tell me more about the works of Fr. Neuhaus I would be very interested. I know he died a few months ago and I received his book, 'Catholic Matters', as a graduation present. However, other than knowing that he was the editor of 'First Things', I know nothing about him in terms of his writing. Is he worth reading?
But since I mention a Catholic writer, why not have a little quiz to see if anyone still checks this blog? Who is your favorite modern Catholic writer (post World War II)? Any genre is applicable: fiction, theology, philosophy, apologetics... I'm very curious about other people's opinions.
Please pray for me that I might work out a constructive career path.

Congratulations!
I'm still reading your blog, nice to see you have not faded away. One of my favorite Catholic writers currently writing is Father Benedict Groeschel, perhaps best known for his programs on EWTN. His books "Arise from Darkness" and "Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones", in particular, provide a psychologist's understanding of human emotions/motivations, with a priest's pastoral care for the spiritual needs of his flock.
I very much enjoy the books of Joseph Pearce, in particular the one on the likelihood that Shakespeare was Catholic. Also his books on the life of Chesterton and of Belloc.
Also John Saward, who wrote "The Beauty of Holiness and the Holiness of Beauty".
I know there are others I can recommend but I'm drawing a blank right now.
