4 opening quotes and I pick this one: god the wind as windless as the world behind a computer screen - Jane Miller, "High Holy Day"
Description from the inside front cover: As Roger Lambert tells it, he, a divinity school professor, is visited in his office one day by Dale Kohler, a young computer hacker who believes that scientific evidence of God's existence is irresistibly accumulating.
Opening: I have been happy at the Divinity School. The hours are bearable, the surroundings handsome, my colleagues harmless and witty, habituated as they are to the shadows.
Did you hear this hit the wall? Doesn't matter where in the world you are, if you didn't hear the crash you would have felt the vibration. I want my trash reads to be clearly discenable as trash not couched in literary blurb so it is mistaken for a worthwhile encounter.
4* The Witches of Eastwick
