Lapism

The problem with reading books is often make believe is better than the real world.

I'm in the middle of reading The First Book of Lapism (an excellent book, BTW, one I highly recommend) and I could so totally see myself becoming a Lapist.  Too bad such a religion doesn't actually exist, I think it would make the world a better place.

The book (which is actually 4 separate stories) is available online (but if you like it, buy the book and support the author):
Drama Class
Full Immersion
Schism
In the Beginning
Prodigal Son (not in the book)

I'm afraid I don't recognize the name, did he go by a nick or something?

I went looking through my e-mail archives and I had to go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back, to around 1997, to find any posts from him. Now it rings a bell.

And surprisingly the library doesn't have this one... need to ferret it out elsewhere. :o)

Thanks for the ears up. I'm behind on my reading right now but this looks interesting.

Thanks!
