What I learned from this book: Sometimes it's not enough to force yourself to read once you've realized that the book is completely pointless. I did not like this book at all, I am reading it for a book club and I must say, I have not enjoyed reading it. There are some interesting parts, but for the most part it is long-winded and pointless and full of too much theological reference for me. I can do without the "god" bullshit, thanks.
