The Cloister Walk by Kathleen Norris

4.0

Based around the author's time spent as an oblate at a Benedictine monastery, this book took me a while to finish. Its (mostly) short chapters each explore different ideas and how monastic life might give people a different view of them than non-monastics. I found myself underlining something on almost every page. Not a book you're going to tear through in one sitting, but more like something you need to sit with.
