a good book

i'm usually so busy ranting about some injustice, it seems that the rrw doesn't take enough time to let my sexual chocolates and other faithful readers know about some of the good books that i've read lately. for the most part, it seems that between my children, ex-wives, good friends and the church, the rrw has too much of a life to do much reading.
let me preach on it....
i...i...i...i'm not one of those people who have nothing else to do but, read a book and then take time to blog about it. however if i did become so excited about a novel i had just finished, i would probably pick up the phone and call one of the 127 numbers i've got stored on speed dial. (none are 911) i can't imagine being so pathetic that i would have to converse with an imaginery cyber audience. when i read the classic hans christian andersen book, the little mermaid, it felt like a major achievment. i still didn't see the need to start bragging to whomever would listen, that i just finished reading a book in danish. even when i graduated to tougher reads like den osynlige in swedish, or the man of la mancha, miguel de cervantes spanish novella, i just enjoyed my personal accomplishment and considered my self blessed to have that ability.
i remember this lady on the radio saying that she "was a college graduate," as if to say that she was better than the rrw, because she thougth that i wasn't. she was wrong on both accounts. although i do cherish my european college experience, i think that the greatest education that i have recieved was that book that i started reading when i was five. i still pick it up and read a few pages when i need a little help. the best selling book of all time, the holy bible.
i do have a tendency to seethe when i read a confirmed athiest, trying to flaunt her knowledge, by blogging about the books she has read. how intelligent can you be when refuse to acknowledge the great works of god? literary or otherwise? i know sometimes people appear to have no soul, but i assure you their soul is heading straight to hell. and guess what, when they die, it will not matter an iota what their college education might be, their chestnuts will be roasting over an open flame... do not pass go, do not collect $200. and you think that spotlight you're holding is giving off some heat....

Jag tyckte också om böckerna. Men bibeln är boken som jag tycker om mest. Jag tycker att alla borde läsa bibeln också. Jag vill säga att den här bloggen är den roligast jag nånsin läst. Och dom som du skiver om är helt dum i huvve.Alla mina vänner tycker också det.

i hear ya brother, nothing I hate worse than someone that makes it a point to tell everyone they are educated. The best education in my opinion comes from life, and it sounds to me they don't have one. Hell I got two of those lambskins hanging on the wall.. big deal!! I can say this though, one of mine is from a fine school in virginia. a little private college with christian principles, and yes there is a place for people with no souls .... I hear it's hot...
