I really can't claim to be a connoisseur of beer, but I have pretty strong likes and dislikes. (That sounds like the old "I don't know much about art…" line. Well, so be it.) I don't entirely understand things like this, the "tasting notes" for this beer at the Guinness site: Aroma: Light and hoppy

Something I've been meaning to mention for a while: a prayer book has been compiled for use by the Anglican Ordinariates*, and it's very good. If you have any liking for the language of the older versions of the Book of Common Prayer, you should get this. It's inexpensive, very nicely produced, and full of

It's really good. At least as good as the first one, and arguably better. It's somewhat similar in broad outline: the murder of a child, and two detectives who fail to solve the case at the time it occurs and pursue it over a period of many years. It's set in the South again, this

I'm sure he would be distressed by the level of deliberate and strenuous efforts to ratchet up racial animosity that are prevalent among certain classes of people now. At least I hope he would. The shocking thing, the thing which I at any rate certainly did not anticipate in the '60s when the major civil

I probably wouldn't have gone to see it if I didn't have grandchildren who are very interested in it. I'm interested, too, but not all that interested; I would have waited till I could see it on Netflix or Amazon. I haven't read many reviews, but I have the impression that most reaction, at least from

I don't mean "is it true?" I mean "is it ethical?" It's like…like…what?…like putting Marmite and peanut butter together. I don't know whether the British like peanut butter or not but I'm sure very few Americans like Marmite. Like Dr. Pepper and buttermilk? Actually, I'm curious. I guess I could mix up a little myself

The publisher's description doesn't say, but multiplying rows and columns in that image gives me ninety-nine for the number of volumes. I think that covers all the fiction, though apparently sorting that out is complicated–the order and titles differ somewhat between British and American printings, for instance. This treasure can be yours for only $1975.00,

Not mine, Craig Burrell's. He does this every year (I think), and it's always interesting and informative. Books. Music. I don't know how he manages to make time not only to absorb all these things, but to write so engagingly about them.

I find Kevin Williamson to be the most consistently interesting writer at National Review these days. That's not necessarily entirely a good thing, because when I say "interesting" I also mean "entertaining," and often that entertainment involves scathing language about someone. In principle I do not approve of scathing language about persons and try to

One from Joseph Ratzinger, as he was then (1959): It is the birthday of the undefeated Light, the winter solstice of world history, which gives us the certainty amid the rise and decline of this story that here, too, the light will not die, but has already achieved the final victory. Christmas drives out of
