The Givenness of Things: Essays by Marilynne RobinsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first few essays were tough to get into but some of the essays in the middle deserve 10 million stars. This is really challenging reading, but so worth it. Where I don't agree with Robinson I have to suspect I might be wrong or missing crucial information because she is just so brilliant.
I highlighted many sentences but this is one of my favorite: “We would not now have a sizable part of our own population prepared to engage in homicidal violence if they truly believed that that young man in the hoodie was an image of God.”
