"Asimov's Guide to the Bible"

Isaac Asimov's look at the old and new testament creates a historic and cultural picture of the bible. For anyone who has been attacked by bible thumping thugs, or anyone who is interested in understanding the bible in a more complete context.

@1 Hey Christina, I just finished the biography of Valerie Solonas, it was well researched and much better than I expected!

@9 Thanks for sharing (I guess?) ~ Solonas was a victim of sexual abuse and severely mentally ill. Her life was a tragedy.

@10 I shared because you posted a few books by feminists, the Solanas book was written by a feminist writer, and gave Solonas a properly fleshed out book. Just thought you’d be curious as to what you’ve suggested above.

@11 Ah okay. I may check it out (when I'm able to access a library again, safely). Thanks.

Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. Subtitle: A true story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland, but this is not a lurid Helter Skelter-style treatment of the Troubles. Thoughtful, loaded with stories within stories, packed with clear-eyed details that illuminate the people of a radical struggle. Truthfully, I could not put it down and I am not the only one.
