Please keep all discussion limited to Catholic literature. This is a literature board, after all. If you want to just squabble over sectarian nonsense, you should make threads on /his/. Please do not break the rules of the board by posting such nonsense.

To all who are interested in discussing Catholic literature: what is your favourite Catholic book (or book by a Catholic author) on your bookcase? Post a nice passage from it.

Mine is The Apostolic Fathers collection published by Lexham Classics. Here's a great quote from Clement of Rome's First Epistle to the Corinthians:
"Therefore let us be humble-minded, brothers, putting away all arrogance and delusion and foolishness and anger, and let us do what is written [...] For it is not common harm but rather great danger we will endure if we recklessly surrender ourselves to the purposes of people who plunge into strife and rebellion in order to estrange us from what is good. Let us be kind to them, according to the tender-heartedness and sweetness of the one who made us".

From my experience, I really enjoyed learning how to do basic chant for my private prayer. Now, I tend to do a more Byzantine style monotone chant, but this video might be helpful to see if you are drawn to the Western style:
