I'm currently reading Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ
Interesting retelling of the christ narrative from a much more humanistic and raw point of view. For instance in the novel Jesus attempted to hide his fate as the messiah seeing all the prophets around him being executed by romans, and there is also a focus on his relationship with Mary Magdalene.
I'm only about 1/10th of the way through so unsure at this point how the rest of the book will be, but it's pretty gripping so far.
What are you guys reading/have read this year?
Would you recommend the book?
