When's the last time you read anything by Thomas Merton?
Gee - I'd have to think about that.
I read "Seven Story Mountain" first in high school, then again in
college along with "Sign of Jonas" during a two semester course in
Comparative Theology (oddly, both of my best friends were so moved by
Merton's work that they decided to join the religious life - one is a
Methodist minister and the other a Franciscan Priest) - say 35 years
or so +/-.
Why?

Inside joke. Almost.
