I've wondered for years about the origin of the Mormon faith, and I'm not sure that this is what I would call that. I didn't really know what it was going in, but now that I'm on the other side of it, I feel completely filled with information and still a bit confused. This book is about fundamentalists who believe in polygamy and die for it if necessary. It's written by a dude who says he's agnostic, but he's also pretty flipping cynical about religion. Still, I found it deeply interesting, and highly disturbing.
