I bought this book at Borders a long time and have been re-reading it. Although it sometimes gets a bit pretentious, there are some interesting points made in it about
myths across all cultures and how all religions basically tell the same tales and share the same myths.
It also has some pretty cool quotes,like this one from Zen philosopher Alan Watts, about concentrating in the here and now:
"You're wishing for a situation that is not the one you are in. Just realize that you are ruining the experience that you could be having there while waiting by thinking it should be otherwise."

me encanto el quote.
hace tiempo que me entro la huevada comparativa entre las religiones. y sin ser erudita ni haberme leido una torre de libros, siempre me parecio mucha coincidencia que los postulados sean: un creador, un mensajero, una mision de adoctrinamiento (un libro), una promesa de salvacion.
por ahi que alguno un dia de estos le da por demandar al otro por copion.
