I really liked the movie, and checked this book out, but couldn't get into it after reading a few pages at the book store. Any other opinions? Worth giving another shot?

She includes one story of some old-timey Irish (?) family coming to Canada on a boat that bored the living crap out of me.

I had to read alot of William James in undergrad. Not that bad of a writer for that kind of stuff.

The book is actually a series of lectures that William James gave on religious belief in Scotland in 1901. He really covers a wide range, from what was known about the brain and neurology and how it relates to our experience of religion (damage to certain areas of the brain have been associated with increases in hyperreligiousity i.e. St Paul was an epileptic and his conversion is widely believe to be seiziure). I'm only about 1/4 way through it now and am shocked I haven't actually picked up this original work before, as it is generally considered to still be one of the most definitive works on the psychology of religion.
