Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians
« on: August 15, 2009, 06:31:19 AM »
A few thoughts:

1) Hilarious book, with some wonderful references in it!

2) Loved the dig at Rowling in the very end.

3) Dash it all, his evil plan worked ... I planned to be in bed hours ago.

4) Green persimmons.

V) I caught Spook's little comment in there! You weren't going to slip that past me.

@) Why do I have the strangest feeling that Doc Brown has been reincarnated?

 ::)) Radiology triggerman Tigger opus dingo.

I stand in awe.

Well, that's not really true. Notebooks are wonderful things, and I lay in bed in awe. Or a fairly awe-like state that would be even more awe-like if I were not so short on that blessed ingredient called sleep. Or at least, I think it would be more awe-like if I weren't short on sleep, but that might be completely inaccurate. So I lay in a more or less awe-like state, unless I don't, depending on how accurate or inaccurate I may be. But I'm going with more or less awe-like for the moment, anyway.

Thanks for another incredible read, Brandon. Also picked up Hero of Ages, and will have to get Alcatraz 2 shortly.

Always remember ... I forget.

PS ... resurrecting old threads be frowned upon, so's I be creating new ones or twos. Hope I don't offends ... or at least only offends in good ways.

Ha ha.

Also, rezzing is alright so long as you have something contributing to say, but sometimes new threads are nice too. ;)

Well, is that really a spoiler, consider we all die, eventually?

Thanks ... been hanging around for roughly a week or so, commenting here and there, while reading more and more of what Brandon has written.

[edit]One of these days, I will have to start a dream thread here, just so I can comment on the BS / WoT dream I had recently.[/edit]

*dies laughing*  Good times.  I was just telling my mom about the bible shirt tonight.  I really need to find a place to order that online.

Too bad there aren't more people from that group on here.
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

I smell yaoi fan-fic. . . . xDDDDD

Actually, it's a big part of the next book, seriously, turn right to the last page and read it.

No, Chris, you just smell your own desires.  You know you want EUOL to do his gay characters.  (Heck, I think it'd be cool too.)

* Batchman borrows duct tape from Plasman's signature, and sits down with Hero of Ages.

I'm ready!

Bastille Dies. It's true.

Hero of ages was amazing, and I'd already managed to figure out several major plot points due to the extensive theorizing before its release. Without that, I'd say it probably will blow your mind.
