What I'm Reading #54

Just finished the 1960 classic Sci Fi novel, "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller.  It is a story trapped in time and in the clutches of a Catholic world view.  No question, well, nay--very well--written.  Miller tells a tale of cynicism and abject existentialism wrapped in mindless devotion to Roman Catholicism that ultimately offers nothing redeeming to the world it struggles to survive in.  For the life of me, I can't think of a reason other than a fascinating looking into the heart of an historically hysterical response to a desperate, paranoid era in the not too distant past of world history.
