Favorite Book Title of the Week...
Edited on Fri Aug-06-10 06:03 PM by onager
OK, the book came out in 2007 but I just spotted it this week.

Looks like the perfect summertime, beach-reading corrective to all that glop by Mitch Albom and his imitators...

1. Ah, but according to my Lutheran relatives, Dahmer will be there, because
he converted in prison. Gotta love the logic that lets Ghandi burn but opens the gates for a cannibalistic serial killer.

2. Why highlight only 101 people who are dead?
Dear Mr. Powell,

I believe your book, 101 People You Won't Meet In Heaven, significantly underreports the number of people who will not be found in heaven. As heaven is a fantasy land made up as an incentive to convert. It doesn't really exist and consequently, no one will meet anyone else in heaven. When you die, that's it. You don't go of heaven or hell, you simply stop living. End of story. Enclosed, please find a list of everyone who has ever lived and died, as these people will not be found in heaven. As I'm sure this list is incomplete, I will forward additions as they are discovered.

Sincerely,
laconicsax
(encl.)

3. I know Mitch personally.
He's one of my cousins, I think.
