Latest Read: God: A Human History by Reza Aslan

Loved it. Highly recommend. 

Got to see him at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in the 2017/2018 Literary Arts lecture series. He is quite an engaging speaker and his lecture was on this book incidentally.

I was a little surprised by the conclusion drawn by him in the book, which I do not want to give away. I was surprised as he identifies as a Muslim. I actually agree with the conclusion, mostly because I feel that there is no distance between the two extremes of there is no god and all is god. Interestingly he did draw quite a bit from Hariri's Sapiens in this book which pleased me no end as Aslan and Hariri are two authors that I admire very much.
