Letters and Papers From Prison - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I got excited when I saw the title 'Birds of the West Indies'. Yeah I know, easily pleased but can imagine the birds and if there was a TV programme about birds of the W Indies I'd watch it. After that useless information, the game continues:

The European Union: A Very Short Introduction - Simon Usherwood and John Pinder ("atonement" - at-one-ment - means union, and is one of the few Anglo-Saxon theological words. Not a lot of people know that.)
