This promises to be a very moving book, indeed. Even the introduction had me in tears.

I read this years ago, I recall it being pretty good. A little speculative fiction for a change:

To Your Scattered Bodies Go - Philip Jose Farmer

A resurrection with an eye towards ethical development, also involving Esperanto... is that a novel or a website?

Well the Torah book was so intense, I wound up reading the Pirkei Avot in the process.

Just read "The Penultimate Truth" by Philip K. Dick.

Now I'm reading a book about the KGB's history of using poisons, which will be followed by reading "The Haunted Wood", which is about the Venona transcripts.

I picked up 2 more books recently, all in the topic of "justified paranoia". :smug:

It's my job to be paranoid. Pays off when I find the bitcoin mining botnet active in the digital signage at the Chicago office...

Meanwhile, I just finished "The Sea of Talmud" by Abramson. Very engaging read on the plane back from NYC.

Thinking about starting up on "The Haunted Wood", a book about Soviet espionage in the USA during the 30s and 40s.

That sounds like it could be an interesting read. If you do go for it, I'd appreciate your general thoughts, I might have to check it out.

Got jury duty today, so it's in my messenger bag. I'll report on it tonight.
