2) This book is exactly what it claims to be (is that redundant? Perhaps - but books that claim to be one thing and then turn out to be something else *really* annoy me.)
3) The correspondences between father and son are not "over-edited". If I sit down to read a book of letters I don't want to read some stylized or white-washed version of the letters.
4) Nobody pulls punches - If dad feels the son is inconsistent, the dad tells him about it. If the son feels the dad is inconsistent in his reasoning, the son tells the dad about it.
5) Because these are real correspondences, the sometimes irrational reasons for our beliefs are brought out. (it cuts both ways)
6) There is a logical flow in the course of the discussion (with some minor rabbit trails).

Both the flow of the book and the fact that the father is not a professional theologian really made the book more "accessible" for me [also not a professional theologian]. We were able to use this book as our discussion starter in an adult Sunday School class and it worked really well. We had planned to take one set of correspondence a week but (if memory serves) on one or two occassions, we spent more time on something.

In the interest of full disclosure I must admit that I do not agree 100% with Greg Boyd (the "Son" in the title and a professional theologian) but I still found the book worthwhile.]]>

Now that I've finished reading "THUD" I will say that yes, my first impression was right and this will be a good book for you if you need some silly, brain candy that is obviously not connected to our world. Granted, there is a murder (or two) in the book but, on the whole, "THUD" is a *lot* less depressing than everyday life :-)

I think we got this at our local used bookshop and I don't remember if I saw it first or if Dad saw it and brought it to me (to this day my Dad brings me cool books). Ever since Doctor Strange introduced me to Stan Lee & Steve Ditko, comic books have been part of my book collection.

Sure its "campy" but the camp works as comic relief against some gritty story lines. Ditko's art is timeless and Stan Lee is well, THE Stan Lee. (btw, I still have the well worn copy that I read back in the 80's)]]>

Meyer states that she felt that all euphemisms for "doing your business" were distracting and honestly unnecessary.

I disagree with most of what I hear from the "greens" but this book is actually useful and practical. Meyer wrote it because in her own camping experiences she quickly saw that she (and her city friends) were pretty clueless when it came to taking care of one of the most basic human needs - how to take a dump outdoors without getting a turd in your boot.

One lesson that all of us could take from this is "If you pack it in, then pack it out" (or if you're too sqeamish to do that) know what to do with your waste so the area will be unspoiled for the next person that comes along.]]>

First thing - you can't be put off by the title. This is another book that I picked up at a gun show and, honestly, I don't think I would have bought it in a "normal" bookstore. The author isn't going for "shock value" - she has a very humorous preface detailing the anguish she went through in trying to pick a title that conveyed her subject and the seriousness with which she treats her subject.

You *think* you know the story but unless you've read it, you don't know the whole story. We read this in a high school lit class right around the time that I was "discovering" Greek and Roman mythology for the first time. This is no formulaic Thursday night TV drama. This is NOT "we have a mugging and a body" - this is a REAL mystery and you have to remember that the Greeks pretty much invented plot twists and the story can keep your attention *despite the fact* that you've "already heard it". So if you've never actually sat down and read this, try it out.

Our family was on a road trip (vacation or something) and while we were driving down the road I kept overhearing my parents doing the (Monty Python-esque) "Yes it is / No it isn't" argument. When we stopped for lunch my dad walked up to me with a couple audiocassettes in his hand and said "Here, listen to this".

Whatever I was reading wasn't particularly interesting so when we started up again I listened to the tapes. At our next stop my dad asked me:
"Did you listen to that whole book?"
"Yes."
"Is it true?"
"I guess so."
Then my dad turned, looked at my mom, rolled his eyes and, as he walked back to the car said "How could the two of you possibly think that's a true story?!?!"

It struck me as plausible but you have to remember that I was young and bored. Dad didn't ask me if I thought it was "good" - just "possible". I don't think I could make it through the whole book and it's a short book.]]>

You have to remember - this book was not written as a joke - it was written as a serious survival manual. Looking back, the book may seem a bit "over the top" but at the time it made sense.

[Added after a third read] I have lowered my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars after re-reading the book. Perhaps it is because it has to do with my age or perhaps it has to do with "where I am right now" but I did not like the book as much as I remembered. I would still recommend the book as a good read for men in their early twenties - for the "advice" you get from a godly older man if nothing else. While I still recommend the book, I just would not recommend the book as enthusiastically as before.

I have read this book before and I am re-reading it again now. It is a really good read. This is worth the time investment (over 300 pages) for any man. Eldredge explains why we are the way we are and he gives real, practical information on how to become a better man. This book is not psycho-babble, it is good, solid material. This book also works well in a study group session - I first read it in as part of a small group study.

I haven't read enough of Zelazny's work to be able to compare this to his other books but I found it to be an interesting diversion and an entertaining piece of "brain candy".

SPOILER WARNING Zelazny deals with some interesting and complex issues (death, the meaning of life, purpose in life) but the comic moments keep the book "light" enough so that the heavy topics covered don't become a downer.

The hero is a hunter by trade and the book is set in the not too distant future. He travels the galaxy and uses his innate tracking skills to gather animals for an intergalactic zoo. The main character struggles with his purpose in life and whether or not he has "abandoned" or "betrayed" his Navajo heritage. He experiences a moral delimma when he realizes that an animal he captured many years earlier is, in fact, a sentient being. This (and another conflict) are set up early on and the remainder of the book is the deal the two make and the lengths the hero goes to to repay his end of the bargain (or die trying).

I don't want to completely give the book away because if you like light SF, it's a decent read.]]>

review:
When I read this I was much more interested in learning about motorcycles than learning about Zen. As it turns out, this book is heavy on the "Zen" and light on the "motorcycle maintenance".
Maybe I would enjoy more now that I'm more "pensive" (i.e. older).
