I’ve got the go-slows here at Comfy Couch Central, so instead of saying anything intelligent (or, at least, pretending to say anything that could reasonably described as vaguely approaching intelligent), I thought I’d hit you with another couple of lists of Top Tens. Enjoy (or not)!

Quote for the Day: Laziness is riding a bike over cobblestones to knock the ash off a cigarette. (Les Dawson)
* As indicated, this list concerns itself with books about religion or religious issues, and not the actual texts that are sacred to particular faith traditions. I have therefore quite deliberately not included texts such as the Bible, the Qur’an, the Dhammapada, etc.

Hmm.... seems to be some themes emerging here- Mark Knopffler for the music, and Karen Armstrong/Peter Cameron for the books... I haven't read any of their stuff... do they have a particular style/emphasis?
