Decisions About My Reading

I've made a few decisions about my reading. 
I plan to read:
More classics (and yes, that includes classics written
for children)
More plays (many plays are also classics)
More comic books (which might include Classics Illustrated,
which I consider excellent introductions to the original works)

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
