Midlife Crisis Book Club - February

Posted on 08:35 by pollad
Before I reveal February's pick for our Midlife Crisis Book Club, let's briefly discuss the January novel Flowers in the Attic.

I think we can all agree there is really only one major question to be asked at the end of that book:

How long would you have to be locked in an attic with your brother before you would have sex with him?













For February, in honor of Valentine's Day (which I still officially hate), I've chosen The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough.


I think this is going to be a different read than it was when we were in middle school and getting all steamy at the idea of a hot priest. The ongoing Catholic Church scandal has ruined that whole thing. I can't imagine being attracted to a Catholic parishioner much less a priest.

But I've come up with something to help this aversion to power-abusing indoctrination and institutionalized evil!

Pictures of hot priests!

On the streets of Rome, you can purchase a hot priest calendar.

You can also find a "steamy" gay hot priest calendar! 
"I will make you as firm as a rock, as hard as a diamond." 
(Ezekiel 3:9)

Sacrilicious! 

Or you can simply picture this guy. The Pope's personal secretary Georg Gänswein has been called the George Clooney of the Vatican.


"Go, call your husband, and come back." 
(John 4:16)




"My mouth praises thee with joyful lips, when I think of thee upon my bed."
(Psalms 63:6)

"And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do wonders."
(Exodus 4:17)


"Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side." 
(John 20:27)



Amen. 

Happy reading!
