New book

I randomly picked up a new book to read the other day at Barnes & Noble. It is one of Jon Krakauer's books but not nearly as popular as "Into the Wild" and "Into Thin Air." It is called "Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith." In this book, Krakauer shifts his focus to the extremes of religious belief within our own borders, taking readers inside isolated American communities where some 40,000 Mormon Fundamentalists still practice polygamy. I am only about a 1/3 through the book but it is quite fascinating and a must-read!
