The Night Is Far Spent
A collection of Howard lectures and essays is to be "treasured"  and saved. Who can resist "things literary" and "things sacred." Howard,  having read them, tells us about those who are wise - Lewis, Waugh,  Muggeridge, Eliot and von Hildebrand. He knows about the saints and even  "Catholic" anglers. He does not neglect the ultimate questions of "who I  am" or the Cross. He tells us about fatherhood and wonders if "Catholic  studies" are out of date. Howard always enlightens is and, in so doing,  delights us. --James V. Schall, S.J.I have counted myself a Howard groupie, good friend, and even  semi-expert, but I had no idea he had written such a spendiferous plethora  of gems. This is a treasury indeed, of golden pieces from a golden tongue  and pen. It isnecessary. Not having a Howard anthology is like not  having an anthology of St. John Chrysostom, theother"golden-tongued." --Peter KreeftThomas Howard is a true treasure. His insight and sheer style with  which he gives it, never fail to delight and inspire. This new volume, a  treasury of some of his finest writings, is no exception. I found myself  inspired and delighted by his musings on things literary. --Joseph Pearce
