Having once read everything I could find written by Thomas Merton, I think I will resist going down that road again. Unless it wins, of course.

He's my potential reread from this list, too, but it's been decades and I thought I wouldn't mind revisiting. It's a perennial conundrum for me; I can get so much more from a reread and discussion than I did the first time around, but how can I justify it when there are so many yet-to-be-read books?
I am sorry about your knee in the immediate future but glad to think how pain-free those walks will be in the future once you get past it.
