Acedia & me

by Kathleen Norris

Why You Will Like This Book:
  • It's about what I believe is one of the primary sins of our age: sloth (in all its forms).
  • There are so many fascinating points to ponder, scattered throughout the book. And so many differing points of view on this one, ever pervasive issue.

And Why You Might Not:
  • I found it a little meandering sometimes. It was just the style, and this is not a criticism per se, but sometimes I prefer books which state their point a little clearer, without circling.
  • For Catholics, there are a couple of weird points theologically speaking, but these are few and far between, so I wouldn't worry overmuch
