Reading Notes

Phantom of the Opera is done. A wonderful tour of Nineteenth Century French fantasy. The idea of the strange Parisian underworld populated by nameless strange denizens is fascinating. A rather romantic ending though, Raoul and Christine flee away and the Phantom, well, read it yourself.

Now I’m working on The Spirit of Catholicism by Karl Adam. It’s on my Palm so it’s convenient to read when there’s free time. It’s actually a re-read, since I read it long ago, in the sixties or seventies. A little more toothy than Phantom.
