		<description><![CDATA[Speaking of Elaine Pagels, in order to prepare for my interview, I read and reread a lot of her work.  Her newest book (relatively speaking) is Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity, written with Karen L. King.

Problem #1: The title and subtitle.  If you can&#8217;t see from the picture, it reads, &#8220;How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America.&#8221;  For the most part, this book [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I love Thich Nhat Hanh.  I really do.  But there&#8217;s something about reading a book, and thinking, haven&#8217;t I pretty much already read this in his other books? that gets annoying.

Such happens for prolific, philosophical writers.
This book was put together from sermons and writings by Thich Nhat Hanh around Christmas time, at Plum Village, France, [...]

Some folks tried to introduce camels in the old Southwest
Toni Morrison&#8217;s famous novel, Beloved, is based on true events
America has its own Stonehenge in New Hampshire

		<description><![CDATA[This book is many-faceted, and I doubt I&#8217;ll be able to cover it all in this post.  But first let me say, that it&#8217;s by Umberto Eco, with whom you really can&#8217;t go wrong.

Eco narrows the subject down to European languages, and those from surrounding regions with immediate influence.  Still, it&#8217;s a pretty grand scope. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The subtitle on this book is &#8220;A Lighthearted Look at the English Language&#8221;.  Certainly that&#8217;s apt.  While most books on language (usage, etymology, etc.) take a serious approach, this is more of a jaunty romp through the wackiness of our words.

The book is set up as a Catechism of sorts, in a question and answer [...]
