My books

People that know we well know already that I'm not the greatest of readers. I used to be. In primary school I would be reading constantly but all that changed. Now I rarely read fiction at all, in fact I probably haven't read a novel for years. That said, I do read a bit of history and politics. The first picture below shows my booksefh in my room. This is a shap-shot of my personal collection of books (plus some in a box in the shed) but I'm not as mad as my old man who has masses of shelves.

I do house my favourites elsewhere - just above my desk for easy access. Besides the Dictionary and Thesarus these include:

• The Constitution of Australia - signed by John Howard
• The Ceremonies of the Roman Rite - Fortescue and O'Connell
• Against the Tide - BA Santamaria (his autobiography)
• The Howard Factor
• The Cube and the Cathedral - George Weigel
• The Early Papacy - Adrian Fortescue
• Farewell to Cricket - Don Bradman
• The Prince - Machiavelli
• The Courage to be Catholic - George Weigel
• What were the Crusades - Jonathon Riley-Smith
• What We Can't Not Know - Budziszewski
• Latham and Abbott - Michael Duffy
• Ill-Starred Captains Flinders and Baudin - Anthony J. Brown.
• The Fall of Constantinople 1453
• The Great Disruption - Francis Fukuyama

Letters to a Young Catholic (George Weigel) and my Missale Romanorum are on my bedside table
