The Jesus Incident
Just come back from the second hand bookshop again, and picked up a copy of The Road to Dune and the Jesus Incident. I've been looking for this for a long time now. I'll start reading it after I finish House Harkonnen, I am on the last chapter now, if I wasnt I would just stop reading it now lol

I picked up a copy for 40 cents at a thrift store yesterday!
Surprisingly, I've never read any of FH's non-Dune books. Usually, when I like an author, I read everything I can get my hands on. Don't know why I was never interested in the rest of Herbert's work.

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hypatia approaches one.

Pandora books are usually pretty plentiful round here. Good luck finding Destination: Void though - been looking for that for years now.

I read that book 20+ years ago, and just did not like it (or the Lazarus Effect).Laphtiya wrote:Just finished (Yeah I know its took me a while)Freakzilla wrote:Have fun in the Scream Room.

I guess even a great writer can drop a literary bomb once in a while too...
I did enjoy The White Plague though, and would suggest you read that if you have not already....

Too difficult for you? Why am I not surprised.

Gosh - How does a self styled linguistic GOD like you mistake "didn't like it" for too difficult? You are slipping Chiggie... Or... Could it be?SandChigger wrote:Too difficult for you? Why am I not surprised.
No! I cannot imagine you twisting my words purposely, for malicious intent...
Not my best bud in the whole frigging universe!

Re: The Jesus Incident
Fuck you, moron.
What is it you do for a living again? Do you HAVE a job? (Besides cybersucking KJA and shilling for him all over the Web, I mean.)

one of the primary arguments I have against you pretards is that if you consider
theKeith's "writing" to be good or even acceptable, you have extremely poor judgement
in literary matters, and your opinion therefore is suspect at best.
and most of us here have read Plague, but again, your opinion of literature is worthless.
the fact that you "enjoyed" it is trumped by the fact you also "enjoy" tehKJAcket. (in Texas,
and elsewhere I've heard, it's said "You wouldn't know your ass from a hole in the ground.")
finally, this "20+ years ago" comment - assuming you read these things in your teenage years,
this puts you well over thirty, maybe even forty. If so, you're really, really dense & retarded
for a man of that age. Or you really are a young 20-something jackoff, & full of shit.

Re: The Jesus Incident
Oh my g-d, why do you do things like that ?
It would have been just as simple to say :
"According to his Myspace, he's 44" and left
it at that. I was compelled to follow the linky,
and .... my eyes !! MY EYES !!!
and does this thing say he's not a HS graduate ?
but has "some college" ?
and his interests :
"Reading, Writing, Photography, Medieval History,
Science,Science Fiction, Philosophy, Politics, etc. I could go on all day... "
yet :
"(No, spelling is not a strength of mine. Deal with it)"
THIS is The Jacket's fanbase ?

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.
