Quote from: FresnoRedemption on August 03, 2009, 12:44:56 AMThat Hideous Strength by C.S. LewisI've tried to read that thing three times and just can't get through it. I've read the first two, does it really connect to them at all?I'm currently reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. dork. Didn't care a whole lot for Scott's movie, but the book is pretty god so far, and makes far more sense. I'm also about to re-read G. K. Chesterton's The Man Who was Thursday, as I didn't really "get it" when I read it in high school.

The Nazi were the "Nationalist Socialist Party".Libertarians are far right wing, but they are like herding cats

Thr3e by Ted Dekker.
Quote from: lightningninja on August 04, 2009, 05:05:57 PMThr3e by Ted Dekker.hated the book, hated the movie. Ted Dekker's worst book.although I have heard of people who think it's brilliant, I think it's fail...
Is Ted Dekker a christian?
I really liked Thr3e. He completely convinced me that the solution he chose should be completely discounted before revealing it was the only possibility. The movie, however, was fail, as was the film for House. He doesn't write very visually, so the films don't work.
Woo, Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy!/nerdfest
Then you're in denial. Accept your nerd-hood.
Your problem is that you can't conceive of a nerd that chicks dig.
Quote from: Tsavong Lah on August 08, 2009, 06:07:33 PMYour problem is that you can't conceive of a nerd that chicks dig.No, I'm more citing the difference between the nerd and the Renaissance men. The nerd isn't cultured, the Renaissance man is.
