I seem to have missed doing Sunday Salon for a few weeks. Somewhere Sundays got busy, or at least got filled with things which were not reading. But I’m back.

This week I’ve been reading Dorothy L. Sayers’s wonderful Gaudy Night. Sayers was a mystery writer, Christian thinker, translator, playwright, and general all-around scholar. Mostly [...]

Sunday Salon: Remembering Whodunits
Sunday Salon: Early Bird
Although I am posting now, in the afternoon, I got my Sunday Salon reading done earlier in the day. Much earlier, in fact. “Today”only in the most technical sense, actually.
I got home late last night, you see, having been out with friends to take in a play. And when I got home, I saw that [...]

Twenty dollars! It seems so [...]
Sunday Salon: Sourcery
Well . . . I did not get that much reading done this Sunday. I was up late on Saturday (sang a performance of the last two thirds of the Messiah — and then the conductor offered to buy the first round and so we all went out) and so on Sunday I was a [...]

P. came to church with us this morning, and he brought me two books he’d bought for me last week. It was entirely a surprise; P. is not much of a reader (dyslexia) and finds me hard to buy for [...]
