The Albino Code
Apparently, albinos think they are too often portrayed as evil in the movies.
Have you seen this yet? The Albino Code. It's a tad amusing.
***
On the same subject, T&A has yet to comment on The DaVinci Code. Its readership is comprised primarily of people who haven't finished a whole book since "Green Eggs and Ham."
One doesn't have to be St. Augustine to have an opinion on theology (such would close most of us out, certainly), but the intellectual entrance fee is higher than a single work of fiction under your belt.
***
Speaking of being well-read, have you been to a bookstore recently? The local Border's and Barnes and Noble both now have three sections:
1: Oprah
2: Witchcraft
3: Coffee table books.
Our Catholic supply store in the area has two sections:
1: Lives of saints for children, women, and specific careers
2: Pope John Paul II.
Thank goodness for Amazon!

Aquinas and More has a pretty good selection.
Thanks, I'll have to check it out. Could do with some Patristics in the mix.
For good Catholic books, try TAN Books or Angelus Press.
For out-of-print books, try Abebooks or Alibris.
Pax tecum
I went to B&N in Denver last weekend looking for an extra copy of 'Revelations of Divine Love'. Perhaps they had it in the Christianity section but by the time I ceased reeling at all the tarot card packs on sale under Spirituality I didn't look. Guess I spend too much time on Amazon.
