It is a good time to stop, for awhile. But Kar Yong is playing the tempter, as always. So I am dedicating this song to him, sung in the tune of "Old MacDonald had a Farm":
All these booksOf course I must say that he is doing an absolutely fabulous job, no doubt about it, in getting the word out about book deals, which many of us are so grateful about. Just that sometimes, I just wish I didn't know ... but don't let that stop you, Kar Yong - I still need to know!
They're very good
B-O-O-K-S!
Go get some
Don't miss the fun
B-O-O-K-S!
There's a sale, sale here
And a sale, sale there
Sale here, discount there
Book deals everywhere ...
(ad-lib) Yeah - yeah - yeah!
All these books
They're very good
B-O-O-K-S!

Hahahaha.....We'll keep counting the days....
ReplyDeletehahahaha! I'm in total sympathy with you. Isn't it good if u are an apostle? Cos u'll be the one who is doing the writing and not the buying and reading :)
ReplyDeleteA side thought, if the apostles were smart, they should had copyright their writings. Then leave the copyrights to a foundation, and all the income will generate into the foundation.
ReplyDeleteGiven that the Bible being the all-time bestseller, the foundation would be able to fund all those theological studies, missionary works, feeding the poor etc etc by now.
Too bad, Adam Smith was born 1700 years later.

ReplyDeleteJW,
ReplyDeleteIt's not Paul that is doing the writing - it is Paul's interpreters that are doing the writing and we end up buying.....

6-Months-Book-Fast Report
ReplyDeleteI received a call today from Canaanland and told me that a book a friend had helped ordered for me has arrived!!! I had to ask them to hold on to it if they can but if they can't, then by all means sell if there's a buyer.
:( :)

ReplyDeletePearlie,
ReplyDeleteYou broke your fast!! So...does that make me a prophet?
Anyway, you did a good job - this is one fast that I would never declare it for myself...
Well done.
