I too like to read, non-fiction and preferably catholic. I am in an area, where I can buy books for half price, and estate sales and thrift stores. When I find good books, I buy them. Over 15 years I have been working on my library of catholic books. They are for children to adult. WE home schooled. I had the thought that I should make my own library, that one day we may not have these books. With the crisis in the church, I just felt it fine to begin my own library. We have 6 book shelves full. That may seem like a lot. I keep a inventory so as not to buy the same. If I do find the same, I know a good home for them. We have family in Scotland and they just go nuts for the books, they are so hungry for good catholic books. I had noticed that NO churches cleaned out their libraries and I took advantage of their rummage sales. I try to have no more than 2 books being read. One at my bedside and one in the living room. It is important to give yourself breaks, like walks saying the rosary. Works are important along with prayer. So, diversity is where it is and enjoy! For 10 years my family was on me for my books and now they are asking me if I have a particular book to borrow. The city libraries are liberal. Even my husband is a different man, re-born and he got excited for the books. It was like his eyes opened. He could decide where to begin. Sometimes you want to read about the history of the church, or maybe a saint. So, have at it!
