I've seen Karen Armstrong's books since I worked as a manager at Barnes & Noble in the early 2000s while I was recovering from Lyme. For whatever reason, I was not ever tempted enough to pick one up and read it.
One of my neighbors recommended the Spiral Staircase the other day so I borrowed it. It was a really good book for me at this moment in time. There's a lot about her inner personal story that I relate to - even though outer circumstances appear to be quite different. And, as the best authors do, she shines a light and a potential pathway of understanding.
I'm not sure I know how to explain it right now but the past three books that I've read all seem to connect with one another. I'm glad I read her, and have borrowed a few other books.
