A Concept

I've been thinking, on and off for a while, about setting up a reading list of stories and novels that fit conceptually with different parshiot of the Torah. I get a lot of inspiration out of reading regular old fiction, and I figure that this is another way of exploring Torah- rather like some of the theological reflection techniques that I learned in CPE- one of which involved taking an encounter, and coming up with related physical images, biblical stories/images, cultural images, and one more which I'm not remembering right now, and then using those to go back and think about the encounter. So, playing off the cultural and the biblical images- here's another little side project. The book that sparked it was Ursula K. LeGuin's "Four Ways to Forgiveness", relating to any of the parshiot in the desert as B'nei Yisrael start exploring freedom after being slaves.

Anyone else want to play with this idea with me?
