FInally reading “The Celestial Railroad”

At lunch today I finally started reading a book my son wanted me to read.  He’ll be graduating high school this year.  He said it was really interesting and I over-shot lunch by quite a bit as I read it.  It was a satire written by Nathaniel Hawthorne entitled, “The Celestial Railroad”.  Inspired by John Bunyan’s book of 1679, “The Pilgrim’s Progress” this was a more modern response to that famous allegory.  I enjoyed it.
