Bhagavad Gita translated by Stephen Mitchell
This, more than any other “sacred” text I have read, seems purely spiritual and conveys an understanding of life. I am not comfortable with the Lord/God references except that they can be understood to portray a reverence for the foundation of existence throughout the universe, which I like well enough. Also loved the clarity and simple beauty of Mitchell’s translation.
Mormon Polygamy: A History Richard S. Van Wagoner
An outstanding overview of polygamy in Mormonism from its origins in Nauvoo to today. Nicely written, well researched, and very informative. I was especially interested in the Utah period of Mary Ann Freeze. Well worth it.
Field Grey Philip Kerr
Latest of the Bernie Gunther series. He spends most of the book in prison recounting his involvement on the Eastern front. Not as interesting as previous books, a little too expository, but an interesting ending. Overall, disappointing, but OK.
