Is it really that HORRIBLE? It's not a literary masterpiece, but c'mon... you both might be exaggerating.

It's pretty bad. You ever read Poseidon by Kafka? Much better literary myth-writing: http://jlet.org/misc/poseidon.php

I'll give it a read :thumb:

And I think that eclipse myth was written so that a 4 year old could understand it. Instead of comparing it to Kafka you could try those really cheap books with fables.

There are two ways things can be not understood: a) a lacking in the comprehension skills in a person, or b) a lack of comprehensibility in a thing. It was pretty obvious that I meant the latter, especially since I already called it nonsense.

For the first time in my life, I bought season tickets for classic music concerts. People younger than 28 get 50% off, and this was my last chance...

No, because he has beds all over the 11,000 sf house in the wall alcoves and has no furniture, and the only way to get from one side his bedroom to the other is to go over the bed. :wave:
When I saw that, I thought that would be annoying. :noclue:
