Jujitsu for Christ

This past weekend in between carrying out huge heavy pots at my mother's shop, I was reading The Master and Margarita and Jujitsu for Christ. I've not finished M&M, but I think it's an easier read than I had anticipated.

Another easy read is Jujitsu for Christ, which is written by Jack Butler. The folks over at Pretty Fakes talked about the book, and it looked interesting, so I read it.

Impressions... I liked it. It's very much a typical southern novel what with religion playing a major role, but there's also other cultural aspects explored. I won't do as good of a job of discussing it as was done at Pretty Fakes.

I did like the book enough to order Nightshade via interlibrary loan. That's going to be my next pleasure read. I'll be reading that and M&M.

When I returned Jujitsu to the library, one of my colleagues saw the book and was intrigued. When she noticed that Butler was also a Mississippian, she mentioned to me that we needed to request some more of his books for the library.
