I think the biggest mystery . . . for all of us, is "why are we here?"

A slightly less cosmic answer might be (and I've alluded to this incident in both of my books) is that I (and some other folks) saw a guy kill himself by jumping off a bridge once. I just happened to be running in the area where it happened. I always wondered what led the guy to take that step. I've even tried to research it online to just see who he was etc., but I cannot seem to find any articles or anything about the incident. This occurred about 10 years before we had the Internet or cell phones etc... so you couldn't just instantly Google things.(less)

As my eyes adjusted to the overhead fluorescent lights, the deep husky voice of a man in the bunk below says, "So, what'd you say you was in for again?" (less)

Ancient Christianities by Paula Fredriksen

This is a good introduction to the various sects that emerged amongst early Christian communities. It's a pretty easy read. My only criticisms would be that she could have perhaps organized the chapters a bit better, such as around issues or maybe ti ...more

Buddha by Karen Armstrong

I generally like all of Karen Armstrong's books. This one is a good introduction to the life of the Buddha. Like any introductory book, choices have to be made about what to keep in and what to leave out, so I think she did a good job synthesizing an ...more

While Mortals Sleep by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Rate this book

This is a collection of Vonnegut's short stories. Each story is somewhat entertaining, but I think God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, is a much better collection of more interesting stories. If you are to choose between the two, I'd definitely choose the ...more

God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Rate this book
Clear rating
I never read much fiction before I was 40, so I didn't, as a high school or college student, read any Vonnegut. I like the absurdist style, though, and so I started getting in to him a couple of years ago. Since then, I have been marching through his ...more
