I got Buddha as a freebie and tried a few pages but was not convinced. I bought Siddharta (sp?) by Hermann Hesse a few months ago, I'd rather read it... some day.
Finished Stone's Fall, a very good read though maybe not as satisfying as it could have been. I seem to remember I felt the same way when I read The Dream of Scipio, which was very good but not as good as An Instance of the Fingerpost.
I borrowed a few books on religion at the library, and started reading a book on the crusades but got sidetracked into reading the Gospel according to Mark, which I managed to finish for a change. Very interesting in that it gives a picture of Jesus as a human being - not necessarily one I would have cared to meet, but definitely human. He keeps getting angry at people, and even at a fig tree
