July reading wrap. The Sam Harris and Musolino books were standouts, as well as some of Chiang‘s short stories. The Metro book was actually a short prequel to the Metro Trilogy. #julywrapup

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was written over a decade ago but it is still VERY relevant today in the United States as current administration is increasingly under the influence of religious fundamentalists and there is a creationist a heartbeat away from the presidency! In 2019! How can this be possible?! Read this book and you will understand why. I'll read it again some day with a highlighter.
This is just insanity! Since he wrote this some States have come around.
I am giving out my own unique book awards this year. Drumroll, please. First up, the “Holy crap did I accidentally pick up a Glenn Beck book I thought this guy was one of the four atheist horsemen or something” award goes to this. #thekrisbookawards2017
I often think that religion proposes to bring people together, and humanity throws its hat in and tears them apart. I recalled this title as soon as I saw today's prompt.
On a musical note, after Steve Perry didn't sing at the HOF inductions, I'd wager a few Journey fans stopped believin' we'll ever get a reunion.

While there were some chunks that seemed to not grasp my attention so well and I found myself skimming, overall I thought this was an enjoyable and insightful read about dogma and morality. Very well-researched. Harris' work is controversial and you don't have to agree with everything he says, but he offers a fresh perspective and really does get you to think.
