My Cousin the Saint
Yesterday my copy of Justin Catanoso’s “My Cousin the Saint: A Search for Faith, Family and Miracles” arrived from Amazon. Normally, this is not the kind of book I would read. I happily left the Catholic Church a long time ago. But Justin is a former editor of mine, and I’ve read many of his previous pieces on his cousin, and more importantly heard stories first hand about the Saint and about how he wrote the book. I’ve only had time to read the very beginning, a miracle story that opens the book, but I found myself touched by the story and the writing.

I hear it’s pretty good! Someday I’d like to borrow it from you. Right now, I’m mired in David Allen’s “Getting Things Done.” Read the first half and will work on the second. I’m following that up with “Wikinomics,” hopefully this weekend. I need to return it to the library.

Be glad to lend it to you. I’ve discovered the one good thing about business travel: Long stretches of time to read on the airplane. I got a whole book read during my trip to San Francisco last week.
