I heard that the author Andrew Greeley passed away recently, but had never read his books. This morning my hubby sent me a huge text about it and how Andrew Greeley touched his life. I’m going out to get his books now that I know how great he was. Sad that I didn’t learn about him sooner.
Below is how my husband described Andrew Greeley:
“I just heard on the news right after you left, that one of my mom’s favorite authors passed away. He was a priest who wrote ‘romance books,’ but this one was quite different. His books were different than the standard fare. He wrote a book called God Game back in the 90’s. The premise was that a software program was created that populated a world. The “world” believed you were God, so they would worship you. They would go along with their normal lives and the player could watch or interfere. It was a groundbreaking book, and interesting since that might be just how we exist. Just someone’s game. My Mom figured I would like the book and she was right. I’m going to order it off ebay right now.”
