One witness attested to the following: “I am floundering upon the shoals of despair, forsaken by the Great and Powerful Nollop!”
More religious bashing... that last run made my head hurt to read... I skimmed some of it because it wasn’t worth hashing out. I do like Tom... and it’s funny the 32 panogram was found accidentally.

The Council representative—his voice: even, treacly polite—gave his response again, with slight elaboration: “Mr. Cummels, it is the Council’s earnest conviction that there is no other Supreme Being but Almighty Nollop. None whatsoever. Praise Nollop. Nollop eternal.”
More religious bashing... ☹️😣😫😖

Therefore, that of which I must have positive proof—the single fact that I must know for certain is that the Great Nollop isn’t working at all!”
“But what proof? I can’t raise the man from the grave to ask him point blank!”

“You’ve given me the scientific reason for why the tiles are falling, Mr. Warren. But might not Nollop be working through the science? Have you ever thought of this? The science, in point of fact, actually serving his specific purposes.

GAHHHH this is downright stupid and spits in the face of religion and so much more...

We believe, further, that Nollop does indeed speak to us from his place of eternal rest, through the manipulation of the tiles upon his hallowed cenotaph, and that the Council serves only as his collective interpreter.

MAKING FUN OF RELIGION!!

This short book is such a slog because of the stupid overly complex way the letter writers talk. Needful for the loss of letters to matter I nevertheless find a headache coming in trying to read it. Alas what I do for my book club.
