The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas MertonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I found Merton to stray to the hyperbolic, and overly emo at times. If he was growing up in a similar time frame as I, I could see him being a quintessential emo-kid. There were times while reading that I felt, best I can describe, icky. But that was not the entire book, and very much a product of his time. It is a fascinating look into who would chose to join the Trappist Monks.
