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. |

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... |
