And the hallucinations even interact with each other. That is a first for me. Never knew they could do that. His IQ must be above 200 to have so many thought processes and learning to take place simultaneously.
Mod
And J.C can be so annoying at times. Did you guys read that part where he compares Kalyani with Achmed the ..."
I didnot understand the difference between hallucinatory folk and aspects/ Are they one and the same?
My favorite too is Tobias - the one who is quite knowledgeable
I like the ladies too - Kalyani as well as the other one - the one who always chides JC.
Mod
And never ask me whether I have watched anything, as 99.9% chances are that I would not have :P :P
Mod
Hello, Lazy Bee! Sorry, I filled my tummy up before you came for the party, but the temptation was too much. (^__^) I like Ivy and Tobias. Ivy is very observant, somewhat like a professional detective. Tobias is the powerhouse of all knowledge. :D
J.C. is fun too, though I didn't understand the Achmed reference. What was it about? I guessed it wasn't anything pleasant though.

that was damn funny. XD achmed the dead terrorist lol . i found my new youtube timepass now :P thanks
Mod
Mormon? as in the religious sect? really, or jesting?
Mod
:D
Oh okay. Watched a couple of Achmed's videos. Dead terrorist, lol!The reference probably points towards India being the hubbub of terrorism, which is stupid and unjustified in my point of view too. -_-
That photo is of Sandra probably, or it wouldn't have held that much importance to Stephen.
Abhay wrote: "So how soon are you guys planning to pick up the next book in this series?"Next book is a tad longer than Book 1, so would pick it up after a while.

Grand children in 10 years? o.O
Exaggeration, thy name is Abhay.
Abhay: Oh okay.. My head isn't working right today.. :-/Maybe the picture was of Jesus? I don't know, but he said the person was looking into the camera at a time when the latter wouldn't be available for 2000 more years. And he wasn't killed then. Before Christ (B.C.) maybe?
Just an assumption.
Abby: True, true that. Sanderson has made a clear distinction there, stark contrast to other fantasy fellows. Also about The Beautiful Gate: (Source-Wikipedia)
"According to the New Testament, the Beautiful Gate was one of the gates belonging to the Temple in Jerusalem prior to its destruction by the Romans in AD 70. It was referred to as "beautiful" in chapter 3 of the Acts of the Apostles. According to the Acts narrative, there was a habitual beggar there with a congenital disability, who sought alms as people entered and left the temple. Peter says, "I have no gold and silver but I have something else." Then taking the man's right hand, he helped the man up and immediately the man's legs and arm became strong again and he was able to walk and move instead of laying there begging."
Dan Brown books were more against the Church, than against Christianity in particular, I guess. Long time since I read Da Vinci, so might be mistaken.
Abhay- Yeah. Do you know many things in LoTR metaphorically represented aspects of the Bible in one way or the other?Check this. Some examples:

I read it a long, long ago in my late teens. Remember liking it. Have the paperback. But dont know when I will read it. Perhaps a group read will be an impetus to start.

What if he would have revealed that they were all his hallucinations in the end, and not at the very start? I doubt I would've believed him. They appeared so real.
