Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

Christianity by Linda Woodhead

  • Genre(s): Medieval History, History

For my LibraryThing 1010 challenge (10 books in 10 categories starting 10 October 2009 and ending 10-10-10) the last book I had to read was a non-fiction book. I picked a very short introduction about Christianity. The book describes the history of the faith, in the West, the East, the southern hemisphere and other countries. Also the faith for poor people, for men and for women. It was a good introduction but a bit dense because it packed 2000 years of worldwide information in 150 pages. In the end I am giving it three out of five stars.
