Finished Boethius; he was really cool. He operates in the grand Socratic tradition of making numerous logical fallacies and saying great things with them. I didn't like some of what he said, but most of it was v. good, and his personification of Philosophy as a great lady using rhetoric, poetry, and music, was great fun. I'm currently reading the Four Loves by C. S. Lewis, Veritatis Splendor, an encyclical by HH Pope John Paul II of blessed memory, and The Collar, a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the inside of a seminary. I'm also going to start reading the Divine Comedy soon.
