Rated Manuscript Found in Accra 8/10

Judging by the quotes I've seen from some of Coelho's other work, philosophical and mindful ways of living are his wheelhouse, and perhaps Manuscript in Accra is a condensed, more direct version of those ideas. I would have to read his other books to say so with any certainty. Maybe this book isn't for everyone, but I liked it well enough to want to properly devour a full-on Coelho novel in the near future.<br><br>(My full review appears on <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2013/04/manuscript-found-in-accra-by-paulo.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)

Rated Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story 8/10

An enjoyable introduction to the question "why is there something instead of nothing," from the perspectives of philosophy, physics, theology and logic. These are questions I haven't read much about and am mostly agnostic about; I remain agnostic about them in general but really enjoyed reading the author's interaction with a number of different possibilities of why we're here in this particular universe. A little sophistic and overly self-aware, but brain-stretchy and fun. I recommend it!
