On an unrelated note, owning a Kindle now means that I’m reading a hell of a lot more, especially since I’m borrowing eBooks from the public library. I plowed through five books over the Christmas holidays and have three more loaded up right now.

If you haven’t read Zealot by Reza Aslan, do it. I’m atheist, but the political Jesus in that book is far more interesting to me than anything I learned in Sunday school. And my current read is Griftopia by Matt Taibbi. Yeah, he’s a dudebro, but it’s an interesting takedown of the financial crisis.
