Strange books

hamizao

If you consider  "The History of God" by Karen Armstrong as strange then this book I am reading now "the story of god' by Robert Winston, would be too. It's a personal journey examining the relationship between science and religion. Studies the development of the divine idea since the times of our ancestors and covers a wide spectrum of continents, cultures and eras.

Prof Robert Winston wrote "the story of god' upon persuasion by a Controller of BBC then, Lorraine Heggessey who wanted to launch it as a TV series on the subject of God. He also wrote"human instinct" and "the human mind" . Am yet to see them on the shelves. I reckon they would be interesting reads too.

Thanks, limau for the info...........I never really saw that documentary. I would be all ears about the next series.

Thanks too to Greenbottle for the new title. It's synopsis sounds interesting indeed.

Tivi by Shahnon Ahmad. I think quite strange and a bit taboo.
It's categorised as Malay adult fiction and had been theaterised

"Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka and Agitprop Theatre Group present a dark humour-laced adaptation of National Laureate Shahnon Ahmad's controversial novel of the same title. The story revolves around Mat Isa and his family who are padi farmers in a very remote village in Kedah. Their lives get turned upside down when eldest daughter Chah brings home a television set, followed by a DVD player and pornographic discs. Mat Isa slowly becomes influenced by what he sees and almost ends up having sex with Chah before trying to rape Hasanah, another of his daughters. This production uses Augosto Boal's concept of theatre of the oppressed. Directed by Faisal Tehrani. Starring Farid Kamil Zahari, Suriati Abu Bakar, Nurul Zawahir Mohd Gharib and Azhar Ithnin. In Bahasa Malaysia."
