You Lost Me: Why Young Christians Are Leaving Church And Rethinking Faith by David Kinsman. The title pretty much captures the book. It's a discussion of the various reasons that the Christian churches are losing traction among those younger than 30. Pretty interesting stuff, if you are at all concerned about the future. Its concepts pertain to almost any mainstream western faith, not just Christian denominations.

Haroun And The Sea Of Stories by Salman Rushdie. Just finished this visit to a fantastic world as seen through the eyes of a child who must help his father to regain the gift of storytelling. It has an Alice in Wonderland type of feeling, and touches on the struggle between light and darkness, in subtle reflections of present time situations in the world.
Arise, awake, and learn by approaching the exalted ones,
for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,
and hard to go by, say the wise. Katha Upanishad – 1.3.14

"Cane and Abe" by James Grippando. Fiction book set in the Florida Everglades. A blind selection from the library based on the title alone.
It was...ok.
I found the main character frustratingly dumb.
I got exactly what I paid for.
Maybe I'll go back to non fiction for my next one.

Just finished "Hand for a Hand" by T. Frank Muir. It is a kind of Rankin-esque crime novel set in St Andrews, where I lived for six years. There's something special about reading novels set in places one knows well.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
