I just finished The Year Of Living Biblically, by AJ Jacobs. What an awesome book! I loved it and look forward to reading it again. I highly recommend it. It's not your typical modern day action packed thriller, instead it is just a guy wrestling with life and the good book.
AJ spent his year trying to fulfill the bible literally and interviewing every denomination he could manage to get his hands on. A fascinating observation he made throughout his year: The year showed me beyond a doubt that everyone practices cafeteria religion (picking and choosing what we want). It's not just moderates. Fundamentalists do it too. They can't heap everything onto their plate...
