Good book to just spend the day in, which is what I did. Author had an interesting "sub-agenda" with his
eesages about eastern religions and thoughts about truth and lies.
Page 128: "Human beings, it became clear to him, thrived on lies; they needed them in order to survive, be happy, even. Because the truth is often unpleasant, and people didn't care about that. Furthermore, it didn't suit many of them. They'd much rather lie to themselves, have those around them to lie to them to perserve the illusion of beauty. Realty wasn't pretty, that wasn't the truth.
