Fascinating collections of writings from the 33 day Pope. His insights into social challenges and the letters/correspondence with/from great thinkers and authors is unique.
What an interesting man! What kind of long-term pope might he have made? Although some of his views would not necessarily please a feminist (include me in that), he had a wonderful knowledge of literature, a deep spirituality, and-- best of all-- a lovely sense of humor.
Recommended by James Schall in Another Sort of Learning, Chapter 15, as one of Twelve Collections of Lectures and Reflections.

Heard about this book from my parish priest and decided to hunt down a copy. Found a library binding copy on Amazon Marketplace and will be reading the letters periodically as I have short bits of time available.
