Apparently not. I looked briefly and let me tell you, it was very odd googling "Paris Hilton" and the word "book" in the same box.

It's not if you put "has never read a" between them.

Now I'm on to the Jan/Feb issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction.

All I can say about the shit I'm reading is that if I get knocked up by any billionaire, I'm sure as hell hitting his ass for child support. "What? u want dna testing? how dare u, u dont luv meeeee! that does it! i'm living in abject poverty!!11 Me an' the kid'll barely eat! that'll show u!" Do the test and get the damn money to support your child. Bwah.

I was skimming through a little number called "At the Boss's Beck and Call" by Anna Cleary and lol'd at this fine nugget:

Quote

His voice was as dark and smoky as Satan’s.

Satan? Really? Okay, "devilish" is all right, it implies mischief. But Satanish is just fucking scary.

I'm reading the manga version of Evangelion, which is even better than the tv series.

Shinji's depressed but not a pussy anymore.

Wicked by Gregory Maguire for the 97th time.
Manga: Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, it makes me laugh.
Finishing The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya then moving on to The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Some Lovecraft stories. Shat brix with At the Mountains of Madness and almost had an orgasm when I found out the same guy who directed Pan's labyrinth is doing a movie of it

Fiero · « **Reply #38 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 05:21:50 PM »

Wait, are you talking about Guillermo del Toro? Doing Lovecraft?

Read a chunk of the second book of Samuel tonight. Interesting stuff. "Mephibosheth!"

Fiero · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 06, 2010, 10:06:45 PM »

You mean . . .

In the Bible?

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 07, 2010, 12:07:59 AM »

It IS a book....

Fiero · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 07, 2010, 02:40:48 AM »

A poorly written one. I do like song of Solomon, though.

I was skimming through another Lynne Graham Harlequin book and busted out laughing when the hero asks the heroine "Why so serious?" Well, there went that scene.

Matthew 7:6 applies here.

Get out of my Internet with your scriptures.

Religious reading instinctively makes me pretend not to be home.

I never got why Jehovah`s Witness's tried to convert people if they thought only 144000 were going to get into heaven. Wouldn't you want to keep that to yourself so you'd have better chance of making the cut?

B E C K · « **Reply #49 on:** Jan 08, 2010, 01:12:50 PM »

I would think. Shoot, I wouldn't be tellin' anybody.

Are they the one's who's heaven is ruling a planet?

They believe that the rest will live forever in a new earth fashioned after the Garden of Eden.

That's Mormonism. Their ultimate aim is to have lived a life to ascend to godhood and get to create their own universe and be its god, which is what their version of god did.

And where did they get that info from?

But to tell you the truth, as long as they weren't constantly rubbing how much better Heaven was, I wouldn't mind that at all.

I guess the same place that they got that the world was ending in 1914, 1918, 1925, 1941, and 1975.

That's very What-dreams-may-come of them

Except in What Dreams May Come, you have your little universe to yourself and don't have to rule over a bunch of assholes you don't want to be there.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 11, 2010, 04:54:40 PM »

wait I didn't see him mentioning anything about having assholes in your own universe either

Fiero · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 11, 2010, 07:22:00 PM »

You become a god, and a bunch of people live in your world.
