Herman Wouk's new book...

The Language that God Talks
On Science and Religion

It's a terrific book, less than 200 pages, from one of the greatest
living American writers.

The first line of the book, which *every* reviewer seems to repeat:

"More years ago than I care to reckon up, I met Richard Feynman."

Hard to resist with an opening like that... :)

I like this opening better. "Not in Asia, and not in innocence, was
mankind born, but in the plains of Africa."
Robert Ardrey's African Genesis.
