Paul, Fuss, Birnbaum, Shinsu Seiten

So I've read Women and Buddhism by Diana Paul, Michael Fuss's Buddhacavana and Dei Verbum, the Shinsu Seiten, the sacred texts of a sect of Buddhism, and Birnbaum's Healing Buddha. I was most interested by Fuss, and I learned a good deal about the authorship and interpolations of the Lotus sutra. Otherwise, I was not absorbed, although I found the foray into sexism by Paul to be interesting. I have an Esquire issue to read, along with some long neglected books on special forces and the conflicts in the Middle East.
