In reply to #37: Nope, sorry, never read Blood Music. But it sounds like something I would like. Most of my thinking about DNA comes from scientists like Rupert Sheldrake and Richard Dawkins. Posted by will-clarke on May 4, 2008. |

In reply to #36: Like I said earlier, I wouldn't look at the brand of religion that Ikshu pratices to be even mildly representative of mainstream Hinduism. Ikshu's organization is a cult just like The Branch Davidians or Jim Jones or the Japanese Aum Doomsday cult. These cults have their roots in mainstream religions be it Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, whatever, but they distort these religions with extremism, fear and apocryphia.

In reply to #43: As I read on in the novel, I did get this as part of your message. Also, once I got to reading I couldn't stop. I finished the novel a couple of weeks ago and found it both thought prevoking and at times very funny. Posted by guess on May 7, 2008. |
