Cozy Reading Weather

Today is a rainy 9°C here in Countryside, France or what I like to call “cozy reading weather.” Which reminds me I finished reading Escaping from Eden.

It was a very interesting read with a fascinating interpretation of the Bible. I’ll be picking up another one of his books.

My notes are a bit all over the place because I ended up getting the eBook as well since I wanted to read in bed, and now I’ve got some highlights in the eBook version and then notes from the physical book so I’ll have to consolidate. Actually, let me do that real quick.

And done.

The notes from this book will likely go mainly towards my creative writing research so I’ll go through them and see if anything sparks ideas. There’s also references to other reading material so I’ll be adding to my reading pile.

I’m not writing anything in the Science Fiction genre at the moment, but religion is a big part of my next book and the origins of how those (fictional) religions came about are not unlike some of the more controversial beliefs about what may have happened here.
