Our dreams

In fact, were it given to our eye of flesh to see into the consciences of others, we should judge a man much more surely from what he dreams than from what he thinks. There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny. In these aspirations, much more than in ideas which are combined, studied, and compared, we can find the true character of each man. Our chimeras are what most resemble ourselves. Each one dreams the unknown and the impossible according to his own nature.

- Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (Charles Wilbour translation 1862, p. 585)

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a delightful story. It is a hybrid of historical fiction and satirical comedy. The writing is fresh, funny, and at the same time, respectful and serious. The author researched the history and culture well, and spun a thoughtful and fun tale of the Gospel According to Biff. This story should be included in everyone's New Testament Canon. I loved it, and highly recommend it. Thanks Amy for loaning me this copy to read!!!!
