		My idea that the reason Clinton is having political troubles is because he committed a series of hurtful acts during one of his previous lives and your idea that his troubles are due to a complex array of personal and political factors are on a par with each other.

		Our age is obviously the Nonsense Age; the wiser sort of nonsense being provided for the children and the sillier sort of nonsense for the grown-up people.
		The eighteenth century has been called the Age of Reason; I suppose there is no doubt that the twentieth century is the Age of Unreason.
		Or again, the term unreason is sometimes used rather more reasonably; for a sort of loose or elliptical statement, which is at least illogical in form.

		The Shadows of God, the conclusion of J. Gregory Keyes' "Age of Unreason" series, is a thrilling ride through war, mysticism, and a little bit of love.
		The characters have been through a lot in the last 15 years or so, and this is the culmination of everything.
		Unfortunately for me, not only was J. Gregory Keyes a long time in issuing this last volume in the 'Age of Unreason Series,' marketing for it was so poor that it was a year before I actually found it, and even longer until I finally started to read it.

	J. Gregory Keyes: The Shadows of God
		The Shadows of God is the final book of J. Gregory Keyes’s “The Age of Unreason,” and, as such, it ties together the varied strands of story which wound their way through the previous novels.
		The Shadows of God is not the most satisfying conclusion to the series, but it does provide closure, explanations and a sense of hope about the strange world in which occult forces and magic hold sway instead of science and rationalism.
		“The Age of Unreason” could have simply been a world-building experiment on the part of the author, but instead Keyes has managed to suffuse his intriguing world with characters and situations which are real given the confines of the world he has proposed.

	The Age of Unreason - Handy, Charles
		In an era when changes in business and society will be "discontinuous" or patternless, he suggests that our thinking must become discontinuous or "unreasonable" in order to use such changes to our advantage.
