What are you reading?

I've been restless lately with the books I've been reading. I found myself turning from text to text in search of a particular 'manna' (if you will), hoping I would come across ideas to counter-challenge beliefs and values that, seriously, I try to rid myself of - but not because I seek a culture of perfection. It's quite the opposite for me, really.

I wanted to leave this post earlier and because I spent the day communing with nature, naturally I didn't remember. But I think the book I am reading might be of interest to a few of you here. It's very interesting to me and when I am deeply involved with the authors logic, the argument he presents, I find myself wanting to read more or shall I say it this way, I'd like to hear this man present a lecture or seminar or workshop, based upon the materials presented in his book (I miss participating in arguments - classroom discussions). In short: I'm keeping this book.

Here's the title, author and date of publication:

De Botton, Alain. (March, 2012). Religion for Atheists: A Non-believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion. New York: Pantheon Books.
