Though a bit all over the place at times, Hitchens does a fine job of outlining the underbelly of religion.

Beautiful.

I'm powering through this one but after 50 pages, I haven't been impressed. The idea of now is solid but Tolle's use of question and answer format and broad statements leaves much to be desired.

A week later and I've decided that 125 pages is as far as I'm getting. It's not even worth powering through to 190.

I can see how this would be a good access point for someone who has little to no knowledge of this theme. Tolle references several Buddhist and Christian texts and describes time, body and meditation in a way that could lead to further questions and searching. For someone who already has some knowledge of these concepts though, this book lacks depth. Tolle continues to harp on the same concepts by providing answers to what I assume are supposed to be common questions. The idea is interesting and does lead to easy accessibility but Tolle's answers are lacking.

intriguing and a quick read, eggers did a great job of capturing that overwhelming feeling of being a kid

A little all over the place but still very engrossing
