A History of God

It has been a long time since I posted, but I'm back.

I was not able to read "The Years of Rice and Salt" by Kim Stanley Robinson, but I was able to read another book that I think is worth mentioning to you readers. The book that I'm about twenty pages from finishing is "A History of God" by Karen Armstrong. I've found this book so enlightening that I could probably write hundreds of blog entries about it, but I won't and I'll let you guys discover the book for yourselves. However, you guys are welcome to talk about it here in the comments section!

This book delivers an analysis of history and religion that have yet to be matched in the books I've read over the course of my life.

The author, Karen Armstrong, is also a facinating character. She used to be a nun for the Society of the Holy Child Jesus and is quite well-read in nearly all the religions of the world. If you would like to read more about her, check out her wikipedia biography here.

I hope at some point to read "The Years of Rice and Salt," but we'll see...
