Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

>> How about you, Jim, and everyone else too? Favorite Percy novel?

 

A hard question! The answer varies. Today it’s Love in the Ruins. A month ago it was Second Coming. Before that The Moviegoer. Perhaps next week it will Thanatos Syndrome…

Hi Jim!

Thank you for the kind welcome!  It's tough to pick a favorite, but right now that would have to be Lancelot.  At least until I pick up Love In The Ruins and catch up with the reading program.  (Can you imagine if there actually was a Lapsometer?!?!)

How about you, Jim, and everyone else too?  Favorite Percy novel?  I came to Percy through Shelby Foote and, though some may consider this a bit heretical, I think Percy to be a better writer.  (Maybe I think that because I'm learning that my views also align with the Christian existentialists?)

I'm making plans to head down to St. Francisville for the 2017 Walker Percy Weekend.  I'm sure it will be a blast and I look forward to making some new friends there.
