A couple of days ago, I managed to stumble upon this book. I just noticed it out of reasons I've forgotten.

Distance Haze is quite a good read, it’s basically about this writer, Wayne Dolan who is given a chance to visit this science institute for research for his next science fiction book. The science the institute studies however, is a pure study of using scientific methods to find God. Examples are computer programmes imitating God’s personality from known scripture, baseball caps that capture brainwaves of one etc. The story ventures on later towards other areas besides the university though it roughly clings onto the research of a serum which can eliminate the “God Module” of one, said by the book’s Nobel prize winner character as a part of us which draws us back from being more focused. It’s the region where humans think of deeper meaning and search for answers, and eliminating that would mean we would only depend on our powers of rational and logical thinking. I can’t really see if the author is pro-God/pro-religion or not, he certainly manages to maintain a good balance of both parties. This book however, is a far cry from what you would call a religious critic, wake-up book nor something one would see in a Life Bookshop. Something the man believes in, or rather as it is illustrated in the book’s text, is the existence of deeper meanings. Anyway, I don’t want to spoil a good read….

The book did put me in a new perspective for a few days as I ponder deeper meanings. It’s a thriller in a form of knowing that the scary thing can be there if you just notice it. After all, its your mind… The book does has patterns and stuff I think can be seen to have metaphorical and literal underlying meanings. Sad that I am no literature expert. I do think it would be satisfying for me to take literature as a subject, yet, I don’t score well in it for some reasons, so I didn’t take it.

I currently am on the Left Behind >Kids< series now, the books are at least "bite-sized" to read and the pace and haste is really speeding up at school now, so I guess they are a good choice for my reading pleasure now. I don't intend to review them though...

Anyway, its still too damned early for me to say good night to the world, so lemme just sign off...
