I've been on a science fiction marathon lately: The Martian Chronicles, R is for Rocket, 1984, 2001 a Space Odyssey, and 3001 (a follow up to 2001). Entertaining and thought provoking.
Sad, too: Especially in the 2001 series, religion is mocked but a kind of apotheosis is the central theme, caused by space aliens who have evolved into near-gods themselves and who are evolving us. They (the authors and fans of this stuff) are groping for theosis, but they are ignoring or rejecting Christ.

I rarely am able to read one book at a time. I am reading the following books, first part of one, then part of another.
1. Jesus of Nazareth, by Pope Benedict
2. Creating the Special Word, a collection of lectures by Weston H. Noble
3. Purgatory, by Fr. F.X. Schouppe
4. Elizabeth Grand Duchess of Russia, by Hugo Mager
5. The Book of Daniel.
As I finish one book, another takes its place.

I'm re-reading The Proceedings of the International Symposium on English Translations of Byzantine Liturgical Texts (Stamford, Connecticut, 17-20 June 1998), as reprinted in two issues of Logos [ web.ustpaul.uottawa.ca]. I've just finished A Survey of the Liturgical Translations of the Byzantine Catholic Metropolia by Fr. David Petras and have moved on to Translating Liturgically by Fr. Archimandrite Robert Taft.

Timaeus was influential in early Medieval Europe because much of Plato remained undiscovered in Latin until, if I remember right, the fourteenth century. I really like that work!
I had been reading some of Plato's minor dialogues such as Parmenides and Minos.

Right now I am reading the unabridged English version of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago while reading through a complete collection of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories about Sherlock Holmes and reading from Pope Benedict XVI's Jesus of Nazareth.
