#32, Enon, by Paul Harding

This book chronicles the first year of a father's grief at the sudden accidental death of his 13-year-old daughter.  His wife leaves him, he gets hooked on painkillers, and explores the depths of despair amid fantasies and dreams about his past, the past of his town, and what might have been.  I really enjoyed this book; it's not as depressing as I've probably made it sound.

#31 Meditation and Contemplation, by Fr. Timothy Gallagher

Fr. Gallagher has written a whole series of books to make Ignatian spirituality understandable and easily learned.  This book gives simple explanations of meditation and contemplation, and, if I may say so, demystifies the topic enough that a simple layman like me thinks maybe he can do this after all.  Well worth the time to read.

#30 Saint Odd, by Dean Koontz

The whole Odd Thomas series is kind of quirky, but enjoyable.  Odd  Thomas is a likeable young man who was a fry cook, but his special talents have led him on a quest to be reunited with his deceased fiance, when the time is right.  This is the last in the series, and a fitting end it is.

#29 The Pagan Lord, by Bernard Cornwell

This is another in the Saxon Chronicles.  I've enjoyed them all.
