Summer Reading: Staff Edition
Curious about what our faculty and staff are reading this summer? Take a look below!
This summer I recommend Cannery Row by John Steinbeck and The Power and the Glory by Graham Green. Cannery Row is a story about the land from which I come— Monterey, California (where my family found roots as they moved out west during the Depression). There are bums, whores, and scientists, but it is a truly remarkable text about wanting the good and having just about no idea of how to get to it.
Blaise Hockel, Headmaster
I am reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. This is novel written in letter form, from one devil to another, giving advice on successful temptation. I borrowed a copy after having had this recommended one too many times, as well as enjoying previous books of Lewis’s that I’ve read. I started this a few days ago, and I so far am enjoying the very down to earth and insightful life advice, as well as the humor the Lewis uses.
Clare Glaser, Humanities Instructor
I recommend The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy. This book is a reminder of death and how it reveals both who man is and who God is. And with this, the power of death to change even the petty life of Ivan at his deathbed and ours, the readers, lives now when we let it teach us. It’s short!
Elizabeth Ielmini, Latin Instructor
This summer, I plan to read My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok. It is a novel about a young Hasidic Jew growing up in postwar Brooklyn who struggles to navigate his love for his parents and religious community with his talent for art that estranges him from them. This novel was given to me by a friend who said it was an incredible exploration of family, creativity, and faith.
Taryn Dennis, Theology Instructor
Currently, I am reading Toward God: The Ancient Wisdom of Western Prayer by Michael Casey. Toward God is a delightful meditation on contemplative prayer according to the traditions of the Western Church. Casey investigates the features of contemplative prayer through a scriptural lens and writings of the saints (Augustine, Gregory the Great, and others), gives an account of the conditions necessary for fruitful prayer, and proposes methods to intensify and grow in contemplation of God.
