Temple Run

A few weeks ago I read a book called The Invention of Wings, in which Quakerism plays a big role.  When I was reading the book, I got really into Quakers and I strongly considered becoming one of them, so much that I actually googled the local Quaker meeting and visited their website.

Now, I'm reading a A Tale for the Time Being, and Zen Buddhism plays a big role.  I'm now considering becoming a Zen Buddhist, so much that I remember running past a meditation center many times.  I'm also considering once again using a phone app to meditate.

A woman at work said she thought I should maybe convert to Judaism, but there's classes.  That seems pretty hard.

Just bought the book, Tale for the Time Being. Thanks for the rec. I am very interested in Buddhism as well. I enjoyed this recent article about a woman who falls in love with a Buddhist monk:
