The Science of the Cross by St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

>How far have you read

I'm about 100 pages in, so a little more than a third of the way through.

>Your thoughts on it so far

It's brilliant. Teresa is extremely clear and precise, yet she is doing very deep mysticism, I can tell. I didn't realize going in that this was going to be an extended meditation on the life and work of St. John of the Cross, but nothing feels unclear to me, and reading it has increased my desire to read John's own works directly. So it's definitely succeeding in the reason it was written.

>What are you gonna read next

Probably The Italian Journey by Goethe.
