DDF Book Giveaway, November 2005
OK, now that I’m done GRE-ing and packing and wondering what in the world absinthe tastes like, here’s the belated announcement. I won’t be back till early December, so the winner will get the book a few days late.
Lauren Winner, Mudhouse Sabbath, (Paraclete Press, 2003), 161 pp.
This cute little volume, written by a brilliant half-Jewish woman who grew up in the South and converted from various flavours of sort-of-Judaism to an earthy Hebraic Anglicanism, shows what Protestants ought to learn from the Jews. (Table of contents here, for the curious.)
Thomas Sowell, The Quest for Cosmic Justice, (Free Press, 2002), 224 pp.
Thomas Sowell has been a favourite of mine for many years and thanks to the generosity of a not-anonymous-anymore donor, I’ve been enjoying rediscovering a familiar old friend. (I used his book Ethnic America to teach three classes on the history of American immigration.)
Leave a comment and lemme know which one you want to read!

Absinthe tastes like strong, bitter licorice. That’s why you have to mix it with sugar. It made me very relaxed, very mellow. Jon Dion hugged me about eight times.
The Thomas Sowell book sounds very interesting.
The Winner book looks fascinating. I would love to read it sometime.
How was GRE-ing?

I haven’t read anything by either of these authors, but I’d rather read Lauren Winner’s volume. I don’t know much about Judaism, but I’m eager to learn.
