Retro Reads

Under the Banner of Heaven
by Jon Krakauer

This was a FASCINATING book.  Sarah Jane Kipling raved about it and Matt nearly begged me to read.  Talks about the extremes of religious belief - Mormon fundamentalism. 

It was hard to endear myself to anyone in the book.  Polygamists, drug addicts, pedophiles, liars.  Wasn't clear on what the book's agenda was.  At moments it felt like a Jerry Springer episode.

Mormons confound me.  They are excellent bloggers though . . .
