No but I've done gerbil hair in a bong once. You won't believe the amount of Dr Pepper it takes to erase the taste.

I'd be lying if I said no. It's bloody excellent thus far. Nicely postmodern.

I'm currently halfway through 'Behold the Man' by Micheal Moorock (of Elric fame).

Going back in time to the time of Christ? It's not bad thus far, but it's not troubling my list of top books either. So far, it's had discussion of theology, questioning faith and the quest for identity from both sides of the arguement.

I've got a feeling that the book's leading up to:

Spoiler

If Jesus never existed, would that make Christianity any less valid?

The concepts explored are grounded in theology and seem solid enough. I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet however. Despite its length, it isn't really light reading.

The main protagonist is someone whom I can't really identify with (sucicidal, looking for answers etc), and some of his experiences were disturbing to say the least.

Word to the easily offended- there are one or 2 scenes in which Moorock is quite rebellious and doesn't pull any punches with regards to the source material.

I just finished The Eyre Affair and now I plan on starting Artemis Fowl, which was recommended by a friend.
