WK2: Recommendations

I am recommending a few books to Anne Abaeo Baker @ gardenerlibrarian.blogspot.com

She wrote about these two books:

Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, by Daniel Clowes

Under the Banner of Heaven, by Jon Krakaeur

I'm gonna focus on her second selection, where she described main appeal factors for "... anyone who enjoys learning about history or other cultures and religions, and anyone who is intrigued by faith-based murders. Definitely fulfills the 'learning/educational' appeal factor."

I would recommend a new one out concerning the Westboro Baptist Church entitled Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15791137-banished

Another classic one focusing more on history/religion/myth of another culture is the Popol Vuh, the Sacred Book of the Quiché Maya http://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=✓&query=Popol+Vuh%2C

We can also go as far as books on Rasputin and Charlie Manson.  I like this one by Brian Moynahan.

And of course Helter Skelter: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105992.Helter_Skelter
