ISI

The Tory Anarchist offers a great overview of the new ISI catalogue [http://toryanarchist.wordpress.com/2006/06/20/cataloging/]. At least it sounds great. I haven't received my copy of the catalogue yet, which is odd since they're one of this blog's sponsors.

Brews You Can Use III

Also via A Good Beer Blog: Essential Reference of Domestic Brewers and Their Bottled Brands [http://www.essential-reference.com/]. AGBB gives it a good review [http://beerblog.genx40.com/archives/2006/may/bookreviewthe1]. Excerpt: > For the beer geek like me, the DBBB can be used in one or two

Senior List

Remember my post earlier this week about monks in eastern Oklahoma (actually, it wasn't a post, as much as a link to a Chesterton and Friends post [http://chestertonandfriends.blogspot.com/2006/05/new-gilbert-is-here.html] about the monks). Anyway, the post mentions John Senior, the University of Kansas

Brews You Can Use IV

For my transcendentalist, beer-drinking readers. You can't judge a book by its cover, but this cover is beautiful: Amazon link [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1584654694/thedailyeudem-20] . And speaking of regional beer news, readers in the tri-state area of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana will be glad

History Primer

A reader notifies me that Diane Moczar has just published two books that introduce readers to Catholic history. Moczar is good. I've read her history columns in Latin Mass. If you go to this link [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1933184159/thedailyeudem-20], then click on the

Manly Pages

I received Harvey Mansfield's Manliness [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0300106645/thedailyeudem-20] on Friday. It's pretty good so far. It prompted me to go through my study and pull out ten manly books. The glared-out one is A'Kempis' On the Passion

TAC

The new American Conservative [http://www.amconmag.com/] arrived today. It looks like a good one (note: no links to the articles are available yet): A review of The Brothers Bulger [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446576514/thedailyeudem-20]. For me, it's a great example of how

Sobering the Drunk

"I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library." From The Great Gatsby, Chapter III. For my drunken readers, I present this shot of the northwest corner of my study: Too bad the quality

Bibliomaniacs

The Washington Post ran a piece recently that speaks to me [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/22/AR2006032200557.html?nav%3Dmost_emailed&sub=AR] : > Books, it turns out, inflame a particular kind of passion. They inform, they amuse, they provoke. They keep us company

Give Adults the Money

The clever and brilliant (the two don't always go together) Charles Murray throws down a paradoxical challenge to America: use its flood of money to end the welfare state by giving money to Americans. His new book (In Our Hands: A Plan to Replace the Welfare State) comes
