by Malcolm Gladwell
A good writer can write about anything and make it interesting. Although I've not read anything by Malcolm Gladwell that didn't cover a topic I wasn't already interested in, I think he could write captivatingly about paint drying. In this case, he's chosen a subject of keen interest to most of us, which is how our brains make decisions, often without our conscious involvement. A quick, engrossing read. ]]> 10802254 Tue, 25 Dec 2007 18:02:43 -0800 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11005550 The Beginning Place (Mass Market Paperback)

by Richard E. Rubenstein
This book is a good entry to some of the political and cultural context of the development of the "Nicene" and "Arian" theology of God and Jesus. The author does a good job balancing complex theological discussions with lively descriptions of the political intrigue and violence that accompanied their debate. It is not uncommon for a discussion of the finer connotations of certain Greeks words and how they were interpreted by clergy at the time to veer rapidly to a vivid recount of a bishop's failed escape from city mobs rioting over those same interpretations. An entertaining and informative read if you already have some interest in the topic. ]]> 8660653 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 05:49:45 -0800 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9263872 Magical Thinking (Paperback)
