Zen and the Art of Killing Your...

Chris Crabtree

Zen is a misanthropic grad student of physics and religion who wants to kill his Self before it kills him, if he can figure out where he ends and it begins. His friend Ellie wants to save him but he won’t let her into his life. Her ability to surgically remove a soul’s facade with her penetrating, laser-scalpel eyes terrifies him. She’s every broken piece of him that’s missing, but someone would have to die to get them together. Fortunately, an old friend sends himself on a recon mission to the afterlife, and Zen has to go home to bury what’s left. Ellie insists on coming along to share the driving. There’s just no arguing with her. Will it be a perfect opportunity for her to help him bury his Self along the way or can she save him before it’s too late?

If you like being offended (and I know that many of you do) read this book and get really mad. If you don't like religion, think the Bible is a load of crap, read this book and have a laugh. 
Either way, you will never forget The Holey Book of Ferret.
