I finished Don't Know Much About Geography and have started reading Don't Know Much About the Bible. It's another awesome book by Kenneth C. Davis with interesting trivia such as:
~ Jericho's walls may have tumbled down because the city lies on a fault line.
~ Moses never parted the Red Sea. (A mistranslation of "Sea of Reeds".)
~ There was a Jesus, but he wasn't born on Christmas and he probably wasn't an only child.
It also explains other rousing questions (as displayed on the back cover):
~ Why did God try to kill Moses?
~ How did a prostitute help destroy Jericho?
~ What's the difference between a disciple and an apostle?
I've been really enjoying it so far, as I have for all his other books!

Alan: Shirley? (sighs) What about senior partners? There would be nothing wrong with me... lusting, say, after you? Would there?
Shirley: Go subscribe to National Geographic. Make a list of the places you'll never get to visit. Add to that list, Schmidt.

Denny: You would agree, Mr. Mayor, that by and large, vegetarians are Communists?
Mayor George Bostwick: I certainly would not.
Denny: We're at war Mr. Bostwick. Think we can win that war if we suddenly say to our soldiers, "No more meat"? Think a nation of fish-easters can protect the world, you wimp?

Hey can I borrow that book? The Don't know much about the Bible? I promise I won't kill it. And if any damage happens to it, then i will be forced to buy you a new one, like I did for Melissa's. I bought it because "I" touched her Eragon book and it ripped in half! I bought her a new one and she wouldn't take it, even though she was the one that told me to buy her a new one...|*_*|
Sure as soon as I finish with it. I have no doubt that you'll be nice to it, unlike some certain book killers... hem, hem... GROBLETTE YOU BOOK-KILLER... cough, cough. Not to name names. =P
