Title: The Bible
Author: various
My blurb: An ancient book, published in many languages, details the sins of mankind and warns of the danger ahead. If enough people read it, it could change the world. But will they?

Well, Christmas is coming. ;-)

Sorry, Simon, but I feel for the soul of your cockatiel after failing to pick this one.
Kath - I bet you haven't read this one.

I have B J, pretty much all of it at least once. I did skim over the boring genealogy bits though.

One can definitely have too much begatting.

It's only interesting for the people who are actually doing the begatting!

And didn't they do a good job with your education, eh, Kath?

They learned me good, you think? ;)

And I bet you had your proofreader's pen out.

Yea, verily!

Apparently there was a famous edition of the Bible which left out one word. It told you 'Thou shalt commit adultery'.

They obviously didn't have Kath proofreading.

Nah, she'd have left that bit in on purpose ;-)
