Sorry, I'm Not Paid to Undergo Religious Conversion On The Clock

My life's goal as a novelist is to have a book on the Vatican's banned book list.

They wanna burn it they gotta buy it after all.

It's coming along rather slowly.


Top floor, kept a stifling 85 degrees. The receptionist had said the boss liked his air humid...

(I must obey, for the number 42 following me everywhere is surely a sign!)

After recently watching an old music video, I think that the next time someone asks if I have Jesus in my heart, I'll respond with, "No, but I have Elvis in my genes."

I always have a book with me when I'm out and about alone, because I hate waiting around for things with nothing to do. My reading choices are a bit... eclectic, to say the least, and my parents habit of 'forbidding' a wide variety of genres (for religious reasons) has at least as much to do with my choices as my grandfather's encouraging me to read anything and everything.

The looks, never mind the comments I've received, when reading such large, heavy books as, oh, Cosmos, The Gift of Fear, The Selfish Gene, or this book are priceless. I'm pretty sure the last one gave a lady in McDonald's (another customer who was being way too nosy about what I was reading) an aneurysm. Never mind what happens when I'm reading my tattered copy of 'At the Mountains of Madness'.

I still don't get the people who think I'm really, really into astrology because I'm reading the latest issue of Astronomy and pounce on me in a panic to save my mortal soul.

...unless I'm being proselytized by my half-elf cleric from D&D,

Hon, if your cleric from D&D starts talking to you, you need to lay off the cheetos and mountain dew, and go get some fresh air.
*edit: Spoken as a Cheetos eating, ex mountain dew swilling D&D'er*

or this book are priceless.

Ooh, I've been wanting to read that. Have you read "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff"?

*thunks self with a board to the head*

You and me both!

I gotta admit, having a book banned is a very effective way to guarantee that it'll soon become a best-seller ^_^

Then again, I have a bit of a skewed perspective -- my HS was parochial (Cath), the library made a huge display of the banned books they had available for checkout, most of which were required reading at that school

Okay, tequilla is in my nose. It is IN. MY. FUCKING. NOSE.

Oh, man. this is funny. This right here is a quote that needs to get added to some kind of freaking "words of wisdom" list.

This gets funnier the more I think about it.

[Kristev]

Is that what I should try? Having my books banned?

[Mr Hero]

My life's goal as a novelist is to have a book on the Vatican's banned book list.

Would it be anything like "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs?"

[Tama]

No, more like "Satan is a great guy to work for" kind of thing.

And yes, I am completely serious.

this book

My friend got hit in the head with that book once.
He was reading it, because he was getting into the whole anti-god thing. His mum walked in, she is a Sunday Christian, saw the book, and threw it at him. Hit him in the head.
So now he keeps telling me the story of how he was beaten with the atheist bible.

Ooh, I've been wanting to read that. Have you read "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff"?

It's a fascinating book. There's a lot of things in it that I hadn't considered before, so I'm enjoying myself thoroughly.

I have not read the one you mention, but no doubt I can find it. Any good?
