I'm not really sure how serious I would be about going to this - but if more people were interested in attending, it could be a fun night.

Another book recommendation
A memoir about a secular agnostic New Yorker who devotes himself to following the Bible to the letter (red and otherwise) for a year. What ensues is a deep quest for knowledge and understanding of the application of biblical law and tradition to secular life. This includes telling the truth, not coveting, multiplying, and even stoning adulterers (with hilarious results). The tone of the book is respectful, inquisitive, and follows the Dennis Prager law of "first tell the truth, and then give your opinion". I won't give away too much, but the rule of cognitive dissonance does hold sway. I got a Borders gift card from my grandmother for my birthday, and I finally got around to using it. After walking around aimlessly for a while I came across this book in the "recommended by staff" section, and haven't put it down.
