I've had conversations like that . . .

I really liked Sphere when I read it, and thought it was one of the better books I'd read.

Of course, I was 14...

I've met a few people that I was fairly sure never finished reading the first one . . . .

What's particularly bad is when that one never-finished book is the Bible, but then because it's the Bible, they consider themselves qualified to tell you how to live every detail of your life anyway.


(And worse yet is the ones who never read Romans, 'cos it was written by wops, and skipped the entire Old Testament, 'cos it was written by them Joos...)
