    And since when did Google become the superior authority? I say the book exists, so it exists. Period. There's just no more debating over it, I established this position and so it is. End of discussion.
    In da butt.

        What ever mr candlewax man. Yeah I know what you do to yourself at nights you pervert. I have read more than you, so if I never read, that means you are ... minus how many books? You can't win this. Let's see how smart are you and when you quit arguing a battle you can't win.

          It will take me a little bit of time, it may even have to wait for later on tonight/tomorrow morning, but I will win. You shall see.

          Just as a bodybuilder must continue his training to retain his physique, an intellegent person must continue learning to retain his sanity.

            Yes you are quite correct. You keep going, I encourage you to. Soon you will pass me. These days I don't have too much time to read anything else than documentations etc boring stuff and computer related 'literature', but you keep on going, and one day you can run up the stairs like Rocky, and be the champ.

            But don't get your hopes up beating me.. just take it as a battle against yourself.. win that one, and you're a winner no matter what people say to you, except if that person is me, then it's actually true if I call you a loser.

            So go on my son! Hit the books!

              See? You're reading a book(s).

              What's it called?

                Listen buddy, I told you a long time ago I read books. What is it with you? Maybe you should read a bit slower, you know, if you read 100 books a day, it really doesn't matter if you can't remember half of it..

                    "Tommorrow Happens" by David Brin
                    "Collapse" by Jared Diamond.

                    In that order of actually getting to read the book.

                      A Spy by Nature- Richard Cummings.

                      Found it in the hospital where I work. Has a KLM sticker on it.

                      It travelled a long way to be read by me.

                      ACK!

                          You have my sympathies. I'm a big H.G. Well's fan, but "The Island of Dr. Moreau" is awful. For some reason, Hollywood keeps trying to make it into a movie. All of them are awful.

                          See if you can't find "When the Sleeper Wakes." The ending is lame, but the rest of the book is great.

                          Me?? I'm just finishing "Wee Free Men" by Terry Prachett.

                                Why not see the movie first? You'll probably enjoy both more that way.
