The Search for God and Guinness
On 12/7 Jonathon Burns wrote: The Search for God and GuinnessWhen I think of a book about historical events I usually think President’s, war, and scientific discoveries. I don’t think of beer. However, that is what part of Stephen Mansfield’s The Search for God and Guinness is all about. Still, it’s not just about beer. ... Search for God and Guinness

Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl
On 8/6 Jonathon Burns wrote: N.D. Wilson’s Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl is a strange book.I can’t really think of any way to describe it. Indeed, it resembles a tilt-a-whirl…when the ride is finished, you’re so dizzy, you aren’t even sure of what you just read, let alone if it made any sense.There were many small bits ...
