So I have finished The Way We Live Now - with a few hours to spare before the book club meeting tonight. I did enjoy it much more than I expected, but I suspect that I'll vote one read-through is plenty. I'm intrigued to see what everyone else thought of it. I'm not sure I believe Felix's final part of the story - his actions seem a bit out of character to me, but oh well.
Having finished that, I've started Happy Are the Meek, by Andrew M. Greeley. This is the first in the Fr. Blackie mysteries - more particularly the first one in the Beatitudes series. So far I'm enjoying getting to know the Punk (aka Fr. John Blackwood (Blackie) Ryan) better, especially through his own thoughts. In the previous books that he's part of, we mostly just get to hear what he tells someone - sometimes even with the "someone's" paraphrase of it. I'm not far enough in the book to say with any much accuracy what it's about, but it's going to be fun. You can't go wrong with the Punk and a broadsword in the same story! :)
