olyclimber Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I read through to the 2nd half of the last chapter and decided I'd had enough. No regrets.  That's a strange statement: You couldn't stomach the whole book, but you didn't think it was a waste of time (till the last chapter, at least)? By the way, you should read the last half of the last chapter, I've heard the recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken is revealed!  I'm sort of busy, can some one give me a quick snyopsis of the book? Ten sentences or less. Quote
EWolfe Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 there, i said it. Â No. You technically didn't "say" it" Â Plus the last word, afraid to say "retarded" but "fuckin'" is ok? Quote
olyclimber Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 What the hell are you arguing about? Say it with me: I am sofa king we todd did  Ya, I know you've already seen it. I'm easily amused! Quote

Ten sentences or less.  It's more like clipping a bungy to the back of your harness that's tied to a big tree and walking forward: The further you get the harder it is to continue.  The book started out okay, but got succeedingly more ridiculous and predictable as time went by.  Kentucky Fried Chicken sucks.  Laytons more verbose than I am...he'd give a better 'snyopsis'.

ScottP Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Kentucky Fried Chicken sucks. Â que? Â After rereading that, it seemed kinda harsh. I guess what I meant is that KFC registers pretty low on my healthy food meter. Quote
olyclimber Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Sorry, I "fictionalized" the Kentucky Fried Chicken bit. The recipe is actually all over the net. Their recipe for cruelty is too. Take your pick. Quote
Jason_Martin Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I liked it. I thought Angels and Demons and Deception Point were better though. Â Jason Quote
marylou Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 The annoying pop fiction writing style was enough to keep me from even starting the thing. Quote
eric8 Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I read Angels and Demons and liked it so I thought I would read the Da Vinci Code. Made it to chapter 2, then decided it was basically the same book only lamer. Quote
Dru Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 9 word plot summary  mary magdalene and jesus had kids. catholic church coverup.  and i havent even read the book. or the fucking celestine fucking prophecy either. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 The annoying pop fiction writing style was enough to keep me from even starting the thing.  Well la de da...I'll just go play my grand piano..  I love trash fiction  I've got a copy I'm fixin to read. If I ever learn how that is. Quote

layton Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 Just like in the lord of the rings, why didn't the eagles just pick up frodo and fly him to mt doom... Â ...why didn't the mother just fucking contact the daughter in the book if she knew about all of this in the 1st place??????? could saved several 100 pages. "Hello, i'm your mother and here's the deal" Quote
layton Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 the way of the peaceful warrior is a stupid book too. Â One book that kinda fits in this intellectual pop category that I absolutely LOVE is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. i could re read that thing over and over. Is Lila any good? Quote
Greta Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 On a similar note, the Dante Club eats ass as well ...if anyone's interested. Quote
