So a book I think is overrated? Let me make sure, I could not get into this book no matter how hard I tried. Well, only one: East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Online claims are that it is the “perfect book” (and I agree that it has merits) but I could not get through it. It simply did not connect with me.
Maybe I should try it again?
I will not say Jesus because he is a person of faith, for me, more than a person of history. But …
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781) and his ditch (der garstige breite Graben) is highly underrated. Good insight into epistemology! And into faith. Only Kierkegaard, methinks, gives an answer.
In religion, St Mary of Egypt – penitence without the institution.
And maybe me!?

What is your career plan?

To be honest, I cannot recall. I am not big on gathering with other people for anything. So …
The real question is what do I like to do in my city?
Drink coffee, listen to music, and read a book. I like the cafe experience. And this city has lots of places to drink coffee.
To be honest, I would like to be forgotten. Is that a super power?
Why? Not sure.
What are your favorite brands and why?
Is Jesus a brand?
The closest brand that I am associated with is Anglicanism. I cannot technically be an Anglican – that is, I cannot be on an electoral roll (very long story for another day).
My association with the brand is via the Book of Common Prayer. Not the newer versions. The 1662 version that is still the benchmark. I use it for my daily prayer and sometimes for the occasional offices.
Why? It has been part of my life for so long. And I am too old to change.
I am also an iSheep!
