Hey! You recommended that I read Martin Buber's book - "I Thou" and I just bought it for $2. I do not even recall why you told me to read it, but here goes nothing. I hope you are living in peace!

The real question is... should I read Martin Buber or a book on which I have to write a paper...Hmmm.... (The book for the paper actually looks promising. The book does a character analysis of God in the book Genesis - an analysis in which the reader analyzes God in the same way a reader would analyze any other character in a literary work. Literary criticism is really grabbin' me!)

Hi Sass, good to see you! I don't recall the specifics of that conversation, either, but you might find the book interesting.

I think I had also mentioned
God in Search of Man, by Abraham Joshua Heschel. He has some interesting things to say about awe and wonder as the root of the religious impulse.
I've been meaning to dip my toes into some Tillich, but I got a new shipment in from Amazon, and have been busy reading the Dead Sea Scrolls.
