I just tripped across your site and it seems that we have similar interests (Rod seems to fall in there too). I like book lists, too.
Might I suggest a great book (my humble opinion)? What’s So Great About Christianity? by Dinesh D’Souza.

Danielewski. The act of reading it is as much an adventure as the story contained within.

Shelby – I’ve always wondered why, since God apparently spoke clearly and unambiguously about the canon (ahem), there wasn’t more clear attribution to the authorship. :D

icedmocha – I love Freakonomics too, in spite of some of the questions to the authors’ research. At the very least, it bumped me off center in thinking about various issues, and the potential for causality where I hadn’t seen it before.

I.d like to reccommend PASSIONATE MARRIAGE by Davud Schnarch ___ it is VERY sexual but never pornographic and about the best text I have ever seen on relationships…….. >It is NOT for the feint (faint) hearted —- Rod Smith (Currently in Geneva and reading your blog on a beaytiful Swiss Day)

I love the estimator’s comment! – Tim
