AK says:

AK says:
why that bible passage

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
It says that at 3:26 pm, John was having his afternoon nap.

AK says:
you're telling me you want to nap?

AK says:
you're telling me you're John the Prophet?

AK says:
you're telling me you're a rabbi?

AK says:
HAH?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
WOO HOO!

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You would have to ask John.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
But you can't.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Because you're stuck in Hell.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
While John is residing in Heaven.

AK says:
your sickness still afflicting you

AK says:
if you touch the corner of John's cloak, maybe you'll be healed.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Heh.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You're beginning to get more creative. The brain transplant of a second brain cell obviously helped you.

AK says:
according to news

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You can barely read the first one?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Why is that?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Bad prose?

AK says:
it was bad writing

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Ahh....

AK says:

I am not surprised.

AK says:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Ack.

AK says:
same for da vinci's code

AK says:
truly bad bad prose

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Agreed.

AK says:
the story line sucks

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
That is truly bad writing.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
The storyline made no sense.

AK says:
they can't hold a candle to the likes of LOTR, Narnia, Earthsea etc.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
It's a bunch of provocative tabloid level crap strung together.

AK says:
even the first Belgraid series was far better

AK says:
it's just CRAP

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Hahahahahahah.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Agreed.

AK says:
or that thomas covenant thingy

AK says:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
It's rubbish. The Da Vinci Code. Digital Fortress. Horrid.

AK says:
or stephan donaldson that was

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Yes. I remember that. Lord Foul's Bane, etc.

AK says:
i think i read da vinci code in 2 hours flat.

AK says:
it was that simple to read. the plot was given away half way through

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Hahaha. Plain, unadorned and poor prose.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Yes, one can guess most of the puzzles very easily.

AK says:
HEY

AK says:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Yes?

AK says:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:

King Kull

Chuang Shyue Chou says:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:

AK says:
barely readable frankly.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Yes, Howard was capable of good historical fiction and westerns.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Yes, new writers, ex-TSR writers, are writing these new Hyborian Age novels.

AK says:
other writers seem to lack the pizzazz

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
It's not featuring Conan.

AK says:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
They feature Stygian wizards, Cimmerian barbarians, etc.

AK says:
just it feature a short ugly stationery peddlar?
