Super-cool, Swibble. Will "Swibble Repairman" be your trail name? That'd bring some literary class to that scene. Oh god, Appalachian "trail names" are so awful sometimes, you want to puke for saying them. I remember once I was ranting to an older hiker about how much I hated calling grown-ass men things like…

Or here—

Swibble, you're at AT hiker? That is awesome. I hiked from Florida to Canada back in 2001, and used much of that AT as part of the route. Bring back some stories!

How was Kaufman's screenplay? Better than the movie's script?

Another great installment, BUT
Nathan, you should change that intro to say 34 volumes. There are 34 now.

I really like most of the Narnia books, and I actually kind of enjoyed most of THE GREAT DIVORCE. It's very readable, written in a fluid style, and vivid in its imaginative depiction of the world it presents.

How is it not a book of apologetics? It's imaginative apologetics, yes, but it's a thought experiment attempting to create a believable version of afterlife based on Christian theology. It's literary apologetics, not an essay, but one of its aims is to make its author's Christian worldview seem more rational and…

There was even a Mormon version of The Onion once—The Sugarbeet.

I read this early last year—and the movie was being talked about then.
A new friend in a class I was in agreed to read Sam Harris's LETTER TO A CHRISTIAN NATION if I would read THE GREAT DIVORCE. It…was okay. Our subsequent discussions were better.

I love John Prine.
I will definitely be checking this out.

Oh how I love this book club.
I just do. I just really, really do.

There's bad/campy-enjoyable and bad/dull-awful-unwatchable-interminable and THE SPIRIT was certainly the latter. You know a movie is terrible when you find yourself wishing the credits to appear at any moment, even if it would leave everything unresolved and would make no sense to leave off there. That's what my bad…

It is a little dreary, and probably my least favorite WuiB selection so far. It's intelligent (though pulpy), but it doesn't always work for me an emotional level. Feels a bit dry sometimes. I think I like the idea of Philip K. Dick and the ideas of his stories better than I do the reality. I recommend watching…

"Seasun" is a song for the ages.

NOTE:
There are now 34 volumes in the series.

The book is great. Especially the second half, which is genius. I can't imagine not liking that book.

That really is an amazing piece. It's included in the excellent collection ANTI-STORY, if anyone's interested.

Has the chef-hat wearing cactus playing "We Didn't Start the Fire" on a flute resurfaced yet? I've long been hoping someone would post that clip.

The problem with the POV shots is not a problem with the show—
that's just you. Watch more and you'll get used to it. It works.

Binky, you are simply uproarious!
