Jeremy here. In the middle of writing, preaching, and grading undergraduate papers of varying qualities, I've managed to find time to still read for fun. Finished off the Levinas, too.
Sting, Broken Music. This guy can actually write. Starts off with the former lead singer of the Police taking ayahuasca with his wife in the Amazon and triggers into his life growing up in a lower-class industrial working town in England. A worthwhile read. 352 pages.
Darcey Steinke, Easter Everywhere. A lovely little memoir (and quick read) about Steinke's childhood as a Lutheran pastor's daughter, her rebellion from her childhood faith and her dysfunctional family, and her belated dawning awareness that she still needs the holy in her life. I identify with Steinke's journey (and it also makes me a little nervous about my own family!). I think a lot of folks on here would like this one. 240 pages.
Ronlyn Dominique, The Mercy of Thin Air. A revenant looks on while two lovers deal with the shadow of their past. Meh. Don't bother. 336 pages.
Next plan: Feuerbach's The Essence of Christianity for a class presentation, and Susan Sontag's posthumous book of essays for fun.
