My friend Donna read this and handed me her copy, saying I should read it. The online synopsis says: "The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ is the remarkable new piece of fiction from best-selling and famously atheistic author Philip Pullman." So he's famously atheistic, huh? Ought to be interesting. Pullman himself says, "The story I tell comes out of the tension within the dual nature of Jesus Christ, but what I do with it is my responsibility alone. Parts of it read like a novel, parts like history, and parts like a fairy tale; I wanted it to be like that because it is, among other things, a story about how stories become stories." I think I'll start this book tonight.Have you read it? What new books have come into your home this week?

Remember when you were a kid and getting new crayons was a big deal? Getting new books holds the same kind of magic for some of us big kids. Susan at Color Online came up with the idea of New Crayons as a metaphor for the new books that have arrived at your house.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
