Surprise! I just finished my non-fiction read and it wasn't Gandhi's Truth. I put it aside and read something else: The Christian Hedonists by Michel Onfray. Part 2 in a "counter-history" of philosophy, meaning that it concerns itself with those philosophers that have come to be forgotten or maligned throughout the ages. It was an interesting read, but Onfray's anti-religious attitude got a bit tiring at times. Just how often does he have to assert that "religion is based on an aversion of pleasure and the body"?
