I'm reading and enjoying the Bill O'Reilly/Martin Dugard book Killing Jesus. It vividly depicts everyday life in a way not explained in the Bible.
Another work I've begun to read is Walt Whitman's 1855 version of Leaves of Grass. I've read some of Whitman before, in the much longer 1892 edition that includes the poem quoted in iPad ads. So far, the 1855 Preface frequently leaves me confused. Whitman is always a bold and enthusiastic writer but not always logical. Or at least his logic escapes me.
