I can well imagine an atheist's last words: "White, white! L-L-Love! My God! - and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostic, if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry, yeast-less factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing him by saying, "Possibly a f-f-failing oxygenation of the b-b-brain," and, to the very end, lack imagination and miss the better story.-Yann MartelIllusions, Animal Farm, Who Rules America, and maybe Catcher in the Rye to name a few others. Basically, I enjoy literature that engages more than the useless and monotonous thought processes that we are all unfortunately forced to entertain in our everyday lives.
