Christian Fatherhood by Steve Wood
Searching for and Maintaining Peace: A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart by Jacques Philippe
Continually reading something by Pope Benedict XVI, Fr. James V. Schall, SJ, Msgr. Luigi Giussani, Bernard Lewis, and whatever I can find that deals with Islam and how the violence/terrorism of today's militant Muslims (those that might be called "Islamists" to distinguish them from other Muslims) relates to the survival of the West.

and my ongoing, never-ending quest to understand metaphysics just a tad bit more:
Wisdom in the Face of Modernity: A Study in Thomistic Natural Theology by Fr. Thomas Joseph White, OP
And periodically as they come in:
Cucina Italiana magazine
Traces magazine
First Things journal
Communio journal
Nova et Vetera journal

What, you couldn't find anything substantial to read?
My older sister had a copy of O'Brien's FATHER ELIJAH and PLAGUE JOURNAL; both of which I liked. But considering the questions my sister asked me about the book i think maybe I should have waited a few more years before reading it.
You must add Theodore Dalrymple to your list. He's the greatest living essayist, today's Orwell. Samples:
"When Islam Breaks Down":

"The Barbarians at the Gates of Paris":
http://www.city-journal.org/html/12_4_the_barbarians.html
"The Goddess of Domestic Tribulations":
http://www.city-journal.org/html/7_4_oh_to_be.html
"Exposing Shallowness":

And search for him on youtube.
Thank you.
I do read Dalrymple from time to time. Perhaps I should more often.
