I have a Goodreads.com account which organizes my interest in books and allows me to communicate with others who also are interested in the subjects I am interested in.
I am interested in History. A subject which tortured me in High School.
What triggered my interest in History? One day I decided to learn all I could about God. I was a Roman Catholic but never heard anything which satisfied me. I searched on the web for anything Jewish which spoke of God. I read about "he who has no name" and Genesis.
I soon decided that this wasn't the history of God at all. It was the history of the Jewish god.
I read several books on philosophy. First I read the Consolidations of Philosophy which gave me an idea of what philosophers had in mind. I then read a book on Cynics. These guys didn't impress me at all about any divinity. I then read Cicero on the Nature of the Gods.
My search goes on.
