News: DOn't Read That Book! Don't Worry, I will.
I have a confession to make. I am no stranger to making myself read long books as a bet. In fact, in Freshman year, my English teacher mentioned the Book "Ulysses" offhand in one lesson as being notorious for being difficult. Drawing on his words, I read it cover to cover twice. Recently, I read a review for Jack Chick's tract "Don't Read that Book", which states that Christians should read 10 chapters of the Bible per day, using a KJV bible (after all, he does believe all others are the work of Satan), colored pencils to underline key passages, a Notebook, and this Tract as well as using a certain lesson plan (Gospels, Acts, Pentateuch, The Rest of the New Testament, The Poems, The Historical Books, The Prophets) ad infinitum until you die, or until you don't have access to your bible in Prison, so you won't feel stupid when talking to Habbakuk in the great beyond. I have created my own lesson plan to read the Bible, which is somewhat based on Chick's plan evenly divided into a single 115-day span, and to give you an idea as to how it should look, you should be done with the Pentateuch in 19 days, The "Histories" in 23 days, The Poems in 24 days, The Major Prophets in 18 days, The Minor Prophets in 5 days, The Gospels in 8 days, Acts in 3 days, The Epistles in 13 days, and finally, Revelation in 2 days.) After you decide how to set the reading schedules, you should keep your thoughts on what you read today in a document which will act as a diary.
Band Name: The Cannery-birds. Coming from a translation of Buchner's Woyczek, written as a pun on Canary bird.
Film Idea: A play about a homicide detective who learns that the murder he has been assigned to investigate has the clues getting even more bizarre until the shocking twist.
Review: You Can Get Arrested For that. Two englishmen set out on a cross-country crime spree, breaking laws that many people don't even know existed, including fishing in one's pajamas in Chicago, offering smokes and whickey to zoo animals in New Jersey, Cursing on a golf course in Long Beach, California, Flying a kite in Washington DC, Driving more than 100 times around town Square in Oxford, Michigan, and many others.
Quote: "I'm in a constant process of thinking about things. I'll think about things for thirty or forty years before I'll write it. "
___________Richard Brautigan.
Link of the day: A Daily Webcomic starring Abraham Lincoln.
