If you’re the type of person (like myself) who likes stuffy, pretentious books about big ideas, and finding oneself, and being important in a romantic sort of way, then this book is for you. It’s gorgeously written and kind of feels a little claustrophobic. Religious fervor can be a poison. We should all be careful.
