The Seven Storey Mountain | 
pickThe name,Thomas Merton,seems to pop up in my world quite often. Sometimes it is in a book that I‘m reading, or an article online and even quotes on the TV screen for a music station that is often on. A good friend highly recommended this book. It has been sitting on my shelves for years. Born in France, educated at Cambridge and Columbia,having lived a life filled with travel,adventure and many friends,Thomas decided he wanted a simple life.

Suet624 💕💕💕Merton. His life story was kind of sad at the end so I‘m glad he wrote this book while he had it in him. 2y
DivineDiana @suet624 I am sorry to hear that. I know he died at 53 in Thailand, but I don‘t know the details. He wrote 50 books in 27 years. This one was chosen by the National Review as one of the top 100 nonfiction books of the century. (edited) 2y
