Forgive me if this topic already exists. I searched the first few pages of topics and didn't find it.
So what are you reading? Religious, secular, fiction, nonfiction. Post what you're currently in the middle of, and whether you're enjoying it/would recommend it.
I'm reading The Glories of Mary, by St. Alphonsus Liguori, I got the audiobook from Librivox.org, years ago. I'm pretty sure I'm the one who suggested that they record it, and the narrator of traditional Catholic books took it on as a project. She has also narrated the complete major works of St. Teresa of Avila, and The Mystical City of God, by Ven. Maria de Agreda.

Books on regard to Latter times, prophecies leading up to the Triumph of Church. Victim Souls, tribulations leading to Triumph of Church, Our Lady's established Immaculate Heart reigning. Finished The Present Crisis of the Holy See, by Manning. Finished Temporal Powers of Vicar of Christ (?) by Manning. Started Interior workings of the Holy Ghost (?) by Manning. Then looked over Love, Peace and Joy about St. Gertrude and this as well speaks of the Latter times.
I am reading the Parallel of the Passion of Christ to the Cross, and us doing the same. It's deep but that is where I am.

I'm nearly finished reading through St Augustine's Confessions, and I've started another readthrough of Fr Adrian Fortescue's The Lesser Eastern Church's now that I have a legible PDF of it instead of a poorly formatted physical copy. Fr Adrian Fortescue's books are all very well written, and I've really enjoyed reading his two books on the eastern churches. I can't get enough of reading about Church history, perhaps to a fault.

I would recommend city of God after confessions.
