We made it to the desert! I think Feiler and AJ Jacobs (A Year of Living Biblically) would be good friends. I am constantly caught off guard by the secular Jewish perspective - I mean, I don’t think Feiler even believes in God. V interesting to follow his pursuit of connection to land & story, but not GOD. I thought this would be a biography of land, but it’s an autobiography of a skeptical man. Muscling through

“I could see this change in how I related to the text. At first I was consumed with the factual foundations of the stories…then I moved towards trying to understand the power of the stories…now I am trying to grasp the underlying, raw human emotion involved in…forging a new identity in the midst of a difficult, transforming journey.” Feiler and I have decided to meet in the middle and WTB is fun again

Just left Israel and now we’re on the banks of the Nile. The author is ethnically Jewish and spiritually searching - very interesting how he describes something deep inside of him, a “a childhood prejudice,” against Egypt. Once he’s there, however, “the biggest surprise about the Middle East, I declared to my friends, is how friendly the Arabs are.”
