Kim

I am reading Kim by Kipling. It is a story about a young boy or man, who is white, but raised by natives in abject poverty in India. The text is mostly dialog. The religion of the various characters is a hodge-podge of different religions. It is a very strange book. Kim and his Lama are on a spiritual quest. Kim also enjoys the Game as Kipling calls it. Kim is seeking a red bull on green grass. It is significant for some reason. The Lama is seeking enlightenment by finding a river. Kim likes the game. It involves spying, sneaking and deceiving. I've read the first fifty pages and it is a very unique experience.
