I end up re-reading "Brideshead, Revisited" about once a year. It's the rare Christian book where every single character (regardless of their relationship with Christianity) is basically screwed up.

Is that rare? J.F. Powers's Morte d'Urban nearly meets that description.

It certainly seems rare for a book that is "pro-Christianity."

But maybe that's just my own blind spot?

Haven't read Morte d'Urban. It's on the list now, thanks!
