RE: re-incarnation

Definate. Reincarnation is guaranteed. And it HAS happened. Look at Kylie.

I hate those yank-style badges / stickers.

I read August 1914 by Alexander Solsenhitsyn on holiday. I travel on too many buses. It was…..hard work. The Bible was easier (the edition I had) and Mein Kampf got me bogged down in the various academic bullshit that preceded Hitlers own Bullshit. I try and read important stuff as much as I enjoy Clancy or Non-Fiction. But some of it is really overrated – ie that Arab Chappy – Sheikh Speer.

I’m on page 8:

That very same morning, after he’d managed to get the bread bin off his headm Mr Clumsy went to town.

Shopping.

“First things first,” he said, and went into the bank to get some money.

Now if that isn’t a superb narrative with a deep underlying message, then my name is Jeremy Fisher.

Of course, it should be read in partnership with Mr Fussy – now THERE is the real twist to the saga…..

RE: the best of…………

Of course it does. Obviously you are a dirty rotten snob who has never read it. It is a classic work, and contains a VERY interesting sub-text. You, sir, are a phillistine.

Besides, it was the first book to have an impact on me, and the pictures are great.
