Many of the books below listed as by me are not, in fact, by me. Goodreads makes it timeconsuming and difficult to change this, so I don't bother. It's a real pain though.

On friend requests: I use the "updates" list a lot to find new books. So I will only accept friend requests if either (a) we're actually friends; or (b) your list of updates is mostly books that look really interesting to me, and like the kind of thing I might otherwise not see. It doesn't mean I don't like you if I don't accept the request!


On technical books: I struggle with how to shelve technical books. Serious reading of such a book may take an hour or more per page; I will rarely seriously read the entire book for that reason. On the other hand, I would like to put th

How God Becomes Real by T.M. Luhrmann
"I set out to understand how gods and spirits can be real for someone without presuming that gods and spirits are present in the world like tables and chairs (if I did, I might have to conclude that their beliefs are false) and without presuming that " Read more of this review »

" This was a super interesting book, and I’m glad I came across it. I believe I heard about the author from Michael Shermer’s podcast, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like the book or not, but I loved it. If you’re at all interested in psychology or anthropo" Read more of this review »

"As a pastor, I would be very careful who I recommended this to.

It was a fascinating phenomenological description of how people experience the presence of the supernatural. The sociologist who wrote it did extensive ethnographic research with religio" Read more of this review »

I cannot review this. It is too sad. It will take me quite some time to really grasp at all, I think. But I recommend it. My condolences to everyone who has experienced suicide in their life.

Stewart Brand
“Science is the only news. When you scan a news portal or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same cyclical dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness; even the technology is predictable if you know the science behind it. Human nature doesn't change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly”
