A delivery

Anyone would think I just sat and ate chocolate and watched TV when I’m not feeling so chipper , well you’re wrong ( but wasn’t the series, Prisoners Wives, brill , and why do they bother putting mini-Twirls in a re-sealable bag ). I read too , and my new book has just dropped on the doormat .Well actually I had to go to the sorting office to get it as postie did the gentlest of knocks and then did his best Postman Pat sprint ,back to his van , before I had the chance to pull my trousers up or shout ‘Stop the van or Jess gets it’. It is a bit of a serious tome , although there are some pictures. It is called ‘Religion for Atheists’ ,by Alain De Bottom .I heard him interviewed on the radio, and he is the only person who more or less articulated how I felt . I know talking about religion or politics is treading on dangerous ground ,and I said I wouldn’t do it but I don’t know one person who has had a child die, who doesn’t look for answers.That is tricky, when like me, you don’t believe in the supernatural aspects of religion yet have an interest and respect in the framework, community and education that go with it. Am I just picking off the easy bits and can I engage with it , without faith ? Who knows ,but maybe I’ll be a bit wiser after reading the book ( that’s once I can put my ‘Brendan – the Memoirs’ book down )

  1. I love Alain De Bottom! I recently re-read his book all about Proust and thoroughly enjoyed it. Give us a review when you’re done with this one please. xxx
