Revelations of Divine Love, by Julian of Norwich

[sophia_sol]

This is one of those cases where I've had to remind myself, "it is okay to give up on a book." It's one of those books I'd really LIKE to enjoy, but I began reading it and...well, I think it's a book that I would get more appreciation out of if I were reading it in an academic context, or a context where I have the time and energy to do the academic research on my own time to supplement my reading of it. And I do not have that right now. ALAS. So I gave up after reading the introduction (which was FASCINATING) and the Shorter Text, which I spent too much time with my eyes glazed over in a sure sign that I do not have enough mental energy to expend on a book like this right now.

I will put it back on my bookshelf and maybe in a few years' time or something it will be the right time to try reading this again.
