....who actually read books that require thought...

Herman Wouk's new book...

The Language that God Talks
On Science and Religion

It's a terrific book, less than 200 pages, from one of the greatest
living American writers.

The first line of the book, which *every* reviewer seems to repeat:

"More years ago than I care to reckon up, I met Richard Feynman."

Hard to resist with an opening like that... :)

Fortunately, it doesn't read, "...I met Richard Dawkins."

Correction: The Language God Talks (no "that")

$10 for kindle version, $16.33 in hardcover (which is what I bought)

I'm guessing that his opinions about things not able to exactly be
proven are right in line with yours, or else you wouldn't even
consider it. We all know how narrow minded you are.

Since you are an ignorant ass and know next to nothing about Wouk, your
guess would be - no surprise - wrong.

Pssst, if you take googling out of the equation, I'll bet I know just
as much or more about the man than you, fat ass. Just how to you
purport to know what I do or do not know about ANYBODY? For instance,
I know you are a lying piece of crap. One thing, I DO hope you'll
realize it's a fiction piece.

Poor dumfoch loogy...he tries so so hard and...fails.

Wait, wait, don't tell me...are you claiming the Wouk book in question
is a "fiction piece"?

It's not. It is a chronicle of Wouk's journey through life, and some of
the people, places, events he has "experienced" in his quest.

How do I know what you know or don't know? Easy. You put it on display
every day. You don't know **** from shoepolish.

I guess you didn't catch the part about his fictional characters that
he meet along the way. Kind of hard to meet a "fictional character".
Do you believe he actually met them?

Man you are a moron!!

I like this opening better. "Not in Asia, and not in innocence, was
mankind born, but in the plains of Africa."
