Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
5.0
A quick and easy little story, I reread Illusions today for the fourth or fifth time. My friend reading Bladerunner in the chair across kept looking up, puzzled, as I laughed out loud, chucked, wept, and finally sighed with contentment, closing the book to look at the world with softened eyes.
I keep coming back to this book, and am willing to lend it, leave it, give it, or throw it away, in accordance with the teachings of the book's reluctant messiah, Donald Shimoda. The simple story of two men, one who can perform miracles, and one who has simply forgotten that he knows how to perform miracles, always reminds me of what's important, how to live my life, what life really is.
"This world? And everything in it? Illusions, Richard! Every bit of it illusions! Do you understand that?"
