Blue Like Jazz

Last week I begun to read a book in the school library after the classes every afternoon because it was in the reserve shelf. It might be that I need my own volume, because it is certainly one of the best books that I've ever read. What was the book? Tension gets higher.... It was Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz. 

I'm taking a course about postmodernism, and this book was introduced to us as a voluntary reader. Why would somebody read something voluntarily when the course schedule is already very tight?

I have a confession to make: I cried secretly in the library while reading this book. Somehow I felt like I connected with Miller - he writes so lively, and his stories! Occasionally I was wondering if the characters are truly real or only result of Miller's vivid imagination. I do not want to spoil your reading experience, but I can recommend this book to everyone who has been asking the question, how could the church be more relevant to modern society.
