What are you on, boy?

Stop being little grammar bitches.

You know what I meant.

Oh well, since you agree with her, she definitely knows more than I.

As if she wrote a Kierkegaard-infused essay herself.

Starting back Ulysses at 10:30 or 11 tonight. Need to stock up on caffeine first.

No alcohol for you. I can't read that thing at all even if I've had one drink.

True that. My usually reading habits following a strict course of a ton of late-night coffee, but since I have no decent coffee, I'll be forced to rely on other caffeinated drinks.

The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver

The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them all they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it- from garden seeds to Scripture-is calamitously transformed on African soil. This tale of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction, over the course of three decades in post-colonial Africa, is set against one of history's most dramatic political parables.The Poisonwood Bible dances between the darkly comic human failings and inspiring poetic justices of our times. In a compelling exploration of religion, conscience, imperialist arrogance, and the paths to redemption, Barbra Kingsolver has brought forth most ambitious work ever.
