No, they're just the story of a man named Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom at 4
different points in his life, roughly 10 years apart each time....his
jobs, his marriage, his son, his parents, his beliefs, some unusual
people he meets....it's the quality of the writing that shines through
more brightly than any other author I've ever read.

Bl8ant --

I highly recommend Dawkins' "The Ancestors' Tale" which I have now read
twice. He is a brilliant man, he was a friend of Douglas Adams and he
is now married to one of the women who played Romana on "Dr. Who."
There could be no finer credentials to establish genius, in my book.

Of course, since I am also an atheist, I may be a bit biased.

Many books I have read.

All have had an effect, the written word is quite powerfull.

The book that has had the most profound effect on me is the one written
upon the land.

It is not written in the words of man.

and changes each day so I will never finish reading it.

there is allways a new thing to learn and a new thing to see.

It helps me grow.

All books have touched me in very different ways, and have shaped me to
be the person I am now.

The Alchemist - Paolo Coelho
The Jungle Book - Rudyard Kippling
Outlander - Diana Gabaldon
The Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, specially "The 8 Winds"

Many, many more...
