A Canticle For Liebowitz

Just finished this noteworthy novel, the second book I’ve read in the past three years that has touched directly upon faith/religion; the other being E.L. Doctorow’s City Of God (which I think I need to reread). I’m left with a sense of a subject much larger, much sterner than that with which I’m normally familiar with. I would like to read more in this vein, but have no idea where to begin. Both the aforementioned books are written from a doubting, but resolutely non-aestheist, perspective and it’s this viewpoint that I find attractively sympathetic.

About

I’ve been writing this blog for quite a lot longer than three years and now I’m finally getting round to writing something in the About page. But what to write? Oh well, if you check the category listings you’ll see what I cover. It’s a ragtag assortment of bits and bobs, anything that catches my fancy really. Unsurprisingly, much of that is music. I much appreciate comments, but whether you feel like making them or not, I hope you find something of interest.
