Hello, Matt. Nice to read your self-introduction.
The Percy List is not in a busy mode at the moment, but from time to time the
e-conversation springs to life.
Have you a favorite Percy book?

>> I recently joined Percy-L and after glancing through the archives found it
was customary to provide a short introduction.
>> Currently I am a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in the Dept. of
Government at Georgetown University, where my major field of study is political
theory. I came to Percy through the work of Peter Lawler, particularly his book
Aliens in America: The Strange Truth About Our Souls. After reading more of Dr.
Lawler's writings (and hearing him speak on a few occasions) and seeing Percy
show up time after time, I decided to explore Percy for myself.
>> By the end of this summer I should finish my first reading of all of
Percy's fiction, though I started with and have given significant time to his
non-fiction work.
>> Percy has already become an important figure in my intellectual
development and I am looking forward to the discussions this group has to offer. As I am
23 years old I am especially interested in learning from those who have been
thinking longer than I about what Percy has to teach we denizens of the 21st
century.
>> Best,
