    so the 2 best selling books of all time a fairy tales, not sure which one involves more magic

    So you know....even Jewish fairy tales can have value, and you should read the way this one ends. Check it out sometime or maybe even dust it off and give it another chance. Hasn't anybody ever read a book more than once? Of course - you never know what you may find in there - fairy tale or not, it's a really good read.

    Actually it is not a good read. Suggesting to someone they should read it from cover to cover hints me that you have not completely read it either. I have. It does not have an ending in the traditional sense. It just ends with batshit-crazy Nostradamus-style visions.

    The New Testament has it's moments, but the book is mostly windy, boring, incoherent, self-contradicting, amoral, and extremely violent.

    Not really such a long shot, Mao's little red book comes surprisingly close.

    It turns out you can get a lot of readers when you can force a fifth of the world's population to read something. Who knew?

    Look up HCR 50 in the texas house of representatives.
    And that one about Dan Brown is priceless; Just flew a week ago and saw some idiot reading that (in first class, btw).

    What's idiotic about dan brown's books?
    at least several million people read his books. what bestseller have you written lately?

    coincidentally, i first read that book on a 3 hour flight from India to Dubai. :D That first picture made me laugh like crazy, because of that alone.

    They're terribly written. Not being published doesn't mean not being able to READ and analyze enough to know that. Plenty of complete shit is published (Twilight or any Dan Brown novel for example). Plenty of amazing books are never seen or heard of. You don't need to be a director to know a terrible movie when you see it, and you don't need to be an author to know when a book is terrible.

    Terrible =/= Idiotic

    wrf is all the hype over twilight? its just something else for preteen girls to swoon over and then have the hopes and dreams of someday becoming a fictional blood sucking leach of an animated corpse. aim high little girls, and keep scrubbing away at that acne. some day, you too can become something that doesnt exist.

    twilight gets me laid by those teen/preteens. i just put in fake vampire teeth, the crappy plastic kind, and go chill by the middle school

  18. Pratik Says:

    I would laugh at this but it's probably true.

    They need to make some horrifyingly psychotic vampire movie that's almost rated NC-17 for sheer brutality and gore.

  19. R Stevens Says:

    Absolutely... something by Rob Zombie... no biting and draining, but a lot of throat-ripping and blood-bathing while the vamps call their victims "Food", "Moron" and "Twilight Fan".

    Because a stack of papers of the same literary caliber of "Twilight" is like, totally awesome, man.

    I wrote the Celestine Prophecy. Ever heard of it? Of course you haven't, because you're an illiterate prick.

    wait....so you consider the above list "good books"? I see...

    I think it says you spent a great amount of time as one of the "Informed" right wing nut jobs, who insisted on telling everyone how moronic they are to believe the left 'biased' media, up until the point when it (the right) imploded and you needed some other non-liberal philosophy to be absolutely correct about. P.S. Ron Paul sounds like the old Purdue chicken guy. just sayin'.

    I actually really enjoy the bathroom readers. Especially when I'm somewhere and I don't really have time to read a chapter in something...I can read a little article in there. It's kinda nice. The trivia comes in handy too.

  38. Anonymous Says:

    wow that's really dumb. i thought this was gonna be some psychological stuff. instead it's dumb jokes, none of which made me lol. i guess it's the logical choice of jokes of a website that couldn't write it's way out of a cardboard box.

    You come to Holy Taco for insightful "psychological stuff"? Where do you go to look at hot girls? CNN?

    the post is hilarious! But the funniest thing about this post is, or possibly the saddest, is the comments and how angry people get when a JOKE hits a little to close to home. Get a sense of humor people...unless you agree with the tone of this joke in relation to yourself in some way, it really shouldn't make you so mad. It really is funny. And if you do think the joke is aimed directly at you, why not think about it for a moment before exhibiting you ignorance on the internet for all to see.

    For the record, could you please tell the group exactly how one writes his way out of a cardboard box? Not that I'm stuck in one and need to write my way out of it. I'd just like you to understand that you just insulted a website with a cliche you can't explain. It's funny.

  43. Your stupid! Says:

    Unlike the anonymous user below me, I would actually like to know how to write your way out of a carboard box because sadly I have been taped inside one for hours now. Any help or advice you can give would be greatly apprehiated. I happen to have a notebook and a pen if that will help. And by the way you are a fucking idiot. These were creative and I'm very happy that you probably won't help me to get out of this box because you have no sense of humor and make me want to shit in your face! Asshole!!!!!!
