“‘Sahara,’ by Clive Cussler. They also made a movie about it that I just watched as well. It’s kind of an action-adventure story.”
“‘The Last Week,’ by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan. It’s about the last week of Jesus’ life.”
“I just finished ‘Exiles in America,’ by Christopher Bram. It’s about a gay couple who takes in one of their fellow professors from Iran who is later questioned by the authorities after 9/11.”
“‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being,’ by Milan Kundera. It’s a love story about betrayal and embracing life. Everyone loves it because it’s a classic, but I’m not as taken by it. Perhaps I just haven’t gotten far enough into it yet.”
“I’m reading John Lamb Lash’s ‘Not in His Image.’ It’s one of the most important books in our lifetime. It’s a way of looking at the world that is more in concert with nature and our planet and getting out of our current destructive mindset.”
