The Age of Reason

(1/1)

Mike:
Started reading this a few days ago.  Tough book to get through and shows how much english has changed 200+ years

One of my favorite quotes so far:

--- Quote from: Thomas Paine ---You will do me the justice to remember, that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.

--- End quote ---

I've enjoyed his thoughts on revelation along with why any human written text can not be the "Word of God".  Can see why it pissed off a lot of people though.

About 14% done according to the Kindle.

Anyone else read it?

Betazep:
Several times. One of my all time favorites.  :)

Mike:
Did you find yourself having to look up a lot of words?  I've had to do it more times with this book than any other.

Betazep:
Hehehe... I don't remember.  It has been years since I read it.  I have a pretty decent bit of Ol' English vocabulary spinning around in my head.
