I'm addicted to books. According to Umberto Eco I am building an anti-library, meaning I own way more books than I have read. I love good fiction, literature, theology, Biblical studies, philosophy, children's books, and lots more.

The Hound of the Baskervilles
A lovely, memorable story of French village that displayed an unprecedented ethic of hospitality to refugees (especially to Jewish people) during the Occupation years of WWII. The book is written by an ethics professor who was intrigued by what happened in this small mountain community (the author himself is Jewish and so it was personal for him). The book centers on the Protestant pastor of the village, Andre Trocme and his wife Magda, and their commitment to non-violence. Though I do not share all of author's or characters' views of ethics or religious perceptions, I respect what they did and wish that I too could have such an ethic of hospitality.
