It's so true it even happened to me. Ahem.

Anyway, here's some WTF meta stuff that made me go, er, WTF: "My girlfriend, who's a 'devout Christian', left me because I read Good Omens in bed while she was sleeping." Even Gaiman went WTF.

Dude, stupid fundamentalism and hypocrisy aside, I wish I had a boyfriend who'd read Gaiman and/or Pterry...

PS : loved the "I love my girl and I love you" way the guy in that entry laid the problem. Obviously he should pick Neal, much sexier XD

Agreed. But then again, if I had to pick between a dorky, smart writer and a girl who dumps people because of the books they read, there's no a real choice there. At least from my part.

Sadly I don't think he gets to sleep with Neil.

Maybe he doesn't want it, either. But hey, I wouldn't stop liking something because my SO is a close-minded dumbass and can't understand the concept of fiction for shit. I'd rather be dumped.

I'd say. If I were him, I would've headdesked so hard. But his reply was made of awesome and so true, while not rude.

People are nuts - typical "get out of my religion" case. Way to give us a bad name, girl. Also, this comment wins.

This reminds me I'll have to look for Good Omens when I go to Buenos Aires... I've been wanting to read it for a while now.

Yeap, it's a must read. And the fanfics are great ^^

I have the e-book, if you want it. And I DO remember where this one is, so... :P

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2006-06-12 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, yes please! :D I do want to buy this one, but just in case I can't find it yet...

I have problems finding it HERE in Spain, so I don't know how it's like in Argentina. I had to buy it online and it's been a week, gaaaaah, arrive already!

I'll email it to you right now, since I shouldn't touch the computer the rest of the day.

Oh, and... word or html format? I have two.

[identity profile] laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com 2006-06-12 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Word would be better. And thanks! :)

I know a bookshop that imports books from English editorials. That's where I get my Discworld books, so they should have this one too.

You've been making me want to re-read GO for a while now :P I'm going to start searching for my copy.

In no way at all XD
But I was busy with finals. Now that I'm free of academical duties, I can nurse my guilty pleasures *-*

Wikipedia es Dios (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Omens).

Es un libro muy bueno :D Es una parodia del apocalipsis, con personajes muy interesantes. En español se llama Buenos Presagios.

ajajaja, ya veo. Pero, en todo caso, no es razon para 'dejar a su novio' ¬¬ porque aunque sea algo que ella 'no acepte' tiene que respetar la libertad y variedad de gustos de otras personas

por cierto que NUNCA habia oido hablar del libro o___O hmm
y el resumen de Wikipedia me ha hecho reir xP

Es que ése es el punto! El libro es comedia pura y dura XDDD Nada satánico ni hereje ni nada. Es parodia y ficción.
