Book Review | The Sicilian.
The Sicilian is a novel written by Mario Puzo and published in 1984. Who is Mario Puzo? Very simple: he is the author of The Godfather. This distinction is enough to make Puzo instantly recognisable. After all, The Godfather is easily one of the most influential crime novels of all time. When people are asked to list works inspired by the Italian mafia, this book will often come first. Considering The Godfather's status, it should come as no surprise that The Sicilian has a hard time competing even though it is considered as the sequel to The Godfather. Two things can explain this: the different eras in which the novels were published (the sixties for The Godfather, the eighties for The Sicilian) and the lesser impact of the movie adaptation of The Sicilian compared to that of The Godfather.

Book Review - Real Philosophy for Real People: Tools for Truthful Living
The younger generation is not composed of fools. The majority of the time, it is given porridge instead of philosophical meat to digest, but that does not mean we are cultural idiots or people easily satisfied. All meaning, as someone with a background in intelligence and war studies, not to mention the philosophy of education, as well as being a fledgling author myself, well-written books trying to struggle with real intellectual content are appreciated, although increasingly difficult to find. So said, the majority of authors seem perfectly willing to speak down to the next generation, even though this is clearly not the intention of Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J., in his well-researched and thought-provoking book, Real Philosophy for Real People: Tools for Truthful Living. A weighty volume clearly blazing a trail beyond McTeigue's initial collection of homilies and essays, I Have Someone to Tell You: A Jesuit Heralds the Gospel.

Summer Reading for 2022
This is not a complete list of all the books I am still reading as the season ends, but I thought that it would be interesting to look back at certain titles that I am glad to have picked up and enjoyed. They do not cover only one particular genre or style (my reading habits have always been very open and liberal; only science fiction and westerns have never really haunted my lists), but I did decide not to include graphic novels or comic books (I am still a fan, but I want to focus of novels and books that may not have the appeal of Marvel, Image or other imprints).
