    Has any of you read this book? It is absolutely amazing. The philosopical meaning of the book is dumbfounding. I enjoyed it immensly. Discuss your thoughts?

    "It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is a base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own...We have broken the laws. The laws say that men may not write...May we be forgiven!"

    Excellent opening, don't you think?

    No. And also, no.

    It is simply your opinion. And nothing more.

    Of course I understand. =] I have to write a report about it, as well.
    I figured that since I found the book so profound, that others may as well.
    However, I knew I'd get an interesting comment from you; you always seem to love to pick on me. Haha. But, have you read it? Did you even like it?

    I found the beginning simply eye catching. It was written early, so, no, most may not have figured that out. I still find it was an excellent beginning, though with the end I was rather disappointed.
