Marc

By the author of Attempting Normal and host of the podcast WTF with Marc Maron, The Jerusalem Syndrome is The Gospel according to Maron: a spiritual memoir of your average hyperintelligent, ultraneurotic, superhip Jewish standup comedian and seeker. The Jerusalem Syndrome is a genuine psychological phenomenon that often strikes visitors to the Holy Land_the delusion that they are suddenly direct vessels for the voice of God. Marc Maron seems to have a distinctly American version of the Jerusalem Syndrome, which has led him on a lifelong quest for religious significance and revelation in the most unlikely of places. Maron riffs on Beat phenomena with its sacred texts, established rituals, and prescribed pilgrimages. He spends some time exploring the dark side of things, as his obsessions with cocaine (known to Maron as “magic powder”), conspiracy theories, and famous self-destructive comedians convince him that the gates of hell open beneath Los Angeles.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The author of this book is English, and the tone of this biography is fantastic.  Excerpt: The book will tell you about a man who was strange, though not in a bad way.  I'm not going to call him a saint or a mystic; these are words with mixed meanings that might turn some readers away.  I am going to approach Ramakrishna objectively because he's just an extremely unusual human being.  I just ask you to read the book with the same open-minded curiosity you might feel towards any person who was extremely unusual.

Dava

Inspired by a long fascination with Galileo, and by the remarkable surviving letters of his daughter Maria Celeste, Dava Sobel has crafted a biography that dramatically recolors the personality and accomplishments of a mythic figure whose early-seventeenth-century clash with Catholic doctrine continues to define the schism between science and religion-the man Albert Einstein called "the father of modern physics-indeed of modern science altogether."
&nbsp;It is also a stunning portrait of Galileo's daughter, whom many readers will not have heard of before now, but who was remarkably intelligent and dear to her father.
Sobel's book illuminates the Florence of the Medicis, the papal court in Rome, and Galileo's life during the pivotal era when humanity's perception of its place in the cosmos was about to be overturned.&nbsp;
During that same time, while the bubonic plague wreaked its terrible devastation and the Thirty Years' War tipped fortunes across Europe, Galileo sought to reconcile his religious beliefs with his scientific discoveries through his telescope. Filled with human drama and scientific adventure, Galileo's Daughter is an unforgettable story.
