I found this 'No Future in a Parrot's Egg' article by Stephen Batchelor and wondered if there were any comments.

At the moment I'm (occasionally) reading 'Confessions of a Buddhist Atheist' and unlike Stephen Batchelor fans, so far I'm finding it really boring and mediocre, and whilst I do agree with some - but not all - of his views, I'm not actually seeing any new or innovative ideas, nor am I particularly enjoying his writing style.

I do consider speculative talk about rebirth and 'other realms' to be irrelevant to my practice... but I'm not planning on giving up the Forest Tradition to be a Stephen Batchelor student any time soon !

Not a book that I'm keen to keep picking up again, to be honest.
