Have a look at the new “Reading Recommendations” links on the right. I’ve recently added Dave Webster’s Dispirited, a great blog based on his forthcoming book of the same title. As his summary states:

Dispirited argues that contemporary accounts of spirituality are a dead end for human potential, a threat to intellectual rigour, and opposed to social and political engagement.

It’s a small book and definitely promises to be fun reading for the spring/summer.

The other link promises to be equally entertaining, or dispiriting, depending on how you view it:

With posts like “When will you finish?” and It attracts the socially inept, I can see why this blog is so popular amongst my many socially inept eternal student friends. Oh, and I suppose it might be saying a little something about me too… Sigh.
