DDickey Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Wow, nice! History and religion."Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice" - this title it's hillarious It's a great little book, too. And I say 'little' because it's only around 92 pages, but, man, is it vicious; it does a fantastic job in a limited space of completely abolishing Mother Teresa's so-called piety. She was a fraud, and this is a great place to start if one is interested in reading about her--an updated version would be nice, though, especially in light of the revelation that Mother Teresa held about as much belief in God as I do. As an aside: I finished up a book last night and am struggling with what to read next. I've got a large queue, but the three I'm setting my sights on are: On War by Carl Von Clausewitz, The Open Society and Its Enemies by Karl Popper, and the Elgin Marbles by Christopher Hitchens--that one might wait, though, because a new revised edition is coming out soon.

G-Manicus Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Christopher Hitchens has a wicked sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDickey Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Christopher Hitchens has a wicked sense of humor. I agree. I've become a huge fan of Hitchens recently. And in response to my conundrum as stated above, I've decided on another Hitchens book before I tackle one of the above mentioned. Currently, I'm reading "The Trial of Henry Kissinger" by Hitchens, and it's an explosive polemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
