Gilead

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

Rating: 5 - Love to own

This is a wonderful book, not exciting but wonderful.  The book is about a dying priest leaving his wisdom to his 7-year old son in a long letter.  There are lots of discussions about theology that make this a great book.  I guess sooner of later, everyone comes to the same understanding of life.  I use the word understanding, not conclusion, because language is too limited.  People try different ways to explain the same understanding, and this book does a pretty good job.  Not that I claim to know what life is about...

[best supplement]

I don't know, I think conclusion is a perfectly good word to use. "Understanding" tends to supplement it, not be a replacement for "conclusion". Just my 2 cents.
