He's much more interested in religion than I am. He does like her, but has said that she tends to repeat her main thesis book to book too much for his taste and that she is more religion 101 than anything. Very much pop-culture. I think that's fine, plenty of people need and will enjoy religion 101. I did read Siddhartha and frankly hated it. I'll be interested to read your views though.
