I just finished a book that has been on my night stand for a few months...Anne Rice's Christ the Lord. It is a fictional story about Jesus's childhood with much liberty taken and much apocrphyal info added...thanks Gospel of Thomas, eh? Why was it on my night stand for that long? Well, it just wasn't that compelling. The story lacked passion. I did, however, enjoy the wrap up where Mary finally reveals his birth and his real identity...that was cool. Too bad it took 300 pages to get there...
I'm not giving up on Rice though - maybe I should read her other stuff - the vampire stuff? Not enough time in the day...
