What are you on, boy?

Stop being little grammar bitches.

You know what I meant.

Your female friend knows more than you do at the present time. Deal with it.

Oh well, since you agree with her, she definitely knows more than I.:rolleyes:

As if she wrote a Kierkegaard-infused essay herself.

It was a few months ago that she said it. I don't want to bring it up.

Starting back Ulysses at 10:30 or 11 tonight. Need to stock up on caffeine first.

No alcohol for you. I can't read that thing at all even if I've had one drink.

True that. My usually reading habits following a strict course of a ton of late-night coffee, but since I have no decent coffee, I'll be forced to rely on other caffeinated drinks.

Hmmm, should I get my summer work out of the way and read the Poisonwood Bible now or later? Anyone read it and have any opinions on it? My friends from the class of 2008 said it was good...

The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver

 


The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them all they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it- from garden seeds to Scripture-is calamitously transformed on African soil. This tale of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction, over the course of three decades in post-colonial Africa, is set against one of history's most dramatic political parables.The Poisonwood Bible dances between the darkly comic human failings and inspiring poetic justices of our times. In a compelling exploration of religion, conscience, imperialist arrogance, and the paths to redemption, Barbra Kingsolver has brought forth most ambitious work ever.
