Insomnia download of the day

Yes, just in time for the rush of a half dozen British Anglicans into the Catholic church, here is Cardinal Newman's explanation for his actions when he did the same a hundred years ago:

Apologia pro vita sua at Librivox.

I shouldn't joke: it was a best seller, but I have his book on education, and can't get through the dang thing.

It's funny, but I can understand the pathophysiology and pathology of acute shistosomiasis haematobium, but I flunk Philosophy for dummies.

But anyway, Father Z notes there is are several connections of Newman with the Tolkien family..more here..


But if Newman doesn't put you to sleep, try

Art of Public Speaking, The by Carnagey (Carnegie), Dale, Esenwein, Joseph Berg


Victory: An Island Tale by Conrad, Joseph

the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

or try WhiteFang if you want to stay awake.
