I'm glad I'm not the only one. "Jesus Saves" by Darcy Steinke pissed me the hell off. I was angry for DAYS after I read that book.

I'm looking to try to read "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco again. My husband and I were going to read it together, and pull a couple of friends in to read it, so they could understand some of the things we were talking about. Most of our friends, unfortunately, aren't very literary though, and to trust them to read anything over 50 words is a bit of a stretch

It IS a good read though- it is translated from Italian to English- but it would be helpful if the reader knew a touch of Italian and Latin. Or are clever enough to read context clues well enough. AMAZING book though.
