My name is Diana, I'm 23 years old, and I enjoy meeting new people even if it is just online.
I read romantic sort of books. I used to read stuff by L. M. Montgomery. Now I read some Nicholas Sparks such as A Walk To Remember and The Wedding. I'm reading True Believer as of now.
Changing the subject a little, I admire actors such as Mel Gibson and Jim Caviezel who are both Traditional.
I'd like to get to know what anyone is reading. Anything really awesome??

I just recently finished reading Megan Whalen Turner's series of three books, The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia. They are classified as "young adult" so perhaps not as "deep" as other works, but they were very captivating, interesting, and totally free of any immorality. If you enjoy fantasy fiction, these are pretty good. I'm not crazy about some aspects of the work, but its definitely better than any other fantasy I've read aside from Tolkein.

Aside from that, I'm working my way through Romano Amerio's

which is a must read for anyone who wants to understand all the changes that occurred in the Catholic Church during the 20th Century. It's very heavy reading, but thorough.

I don't know a lot about Jim Caviezel, although his portrayal of Our Lord was by far the best I've seen in film. I definitely share your admiration of Mel Gibson. Have you ever seen his

? It is fantastic ... I really hope that one day I can be as well-spoken as Mr. Gibson is about the faith.
