Book 35 - Religion in Four Dimensions (Kaufmann)
Very good. But the promised existential and comparative dimensions are in somewhat short supply. Another essay by Kaufmann had some good stuff along the line of "the Buddhist can free himself of attachment and suffering and achieve a mild benevolence to all, but the Jew can take a tragic path to sacrifice himself for all people"
Book 34 - Stealing Jesus (Bawer)
Pretty good. But Kaufmann might tell Bawer his church of love is a fantasy.

Book 33 - Autobiopsy (Rubens)
Good literary fiction. Like Isherwood, not awesome, but excellent ending.
