Subtitle: An Englishman's Year I'm one who prefers fiction (sci-fi or fantasy) but this book sparked my interest when I read the back cover. And it didn't disappoint me either I was quite fascinated by all the information gleaned from England 1000 years ago. It was remarkable to see the similarities between 21st century man and 11th century man. The same human issues they dealt with back then are the ones we are still dealing with now... especially the commotion over the 'end of the world' when the calendar turned over to 1000. Definitely worth the read. Liked what you read? Why not... Then head over to my Facebook page  The BistroMath to join the conversation. You can also follow me on Twitter or YouTube.

Subtitle: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality I started reading this book because it was thrust upon me. ''You need to read this book, its great'  , " Have you read this book yet? " so I dutifully picked it up and read it. It was a struggle to start off with; maybe it had something to do with the post-modern  memoir structure, where he jumped forward and back through the years in a non-linear structure. It was an interesting read while I had the book open and some ideas Miller brings forward were thought provoking and I must say that I did end up enjoying what I did read. However, after I put it down it was often difficult to pick up again to read. A good read yes, an enjoyable one? Not really. Liked what you read? Why not...
