Icke is a hack, not even amusing past the first glimpse of recognition.

But I take it you are unacquainted with mssrs Burroughs and Dick?

It's repetitive and it's not really that interesting. Most of the prophet stories are similar to the ones in the Bible. Also, Mohamed needed an editor.

When you are browsing for something new to read, what type of stuff usually catches your eye first besides the big, bold, bright lettering type stuff? For me, it's usually something like a picture, or the letters written in a very distinct background instead of a solid color.

I was thinking of writing it almost like story, since my preferred course includes english language.
Would a certain level of infomality be good or bad?
Also some simplicity, I don't want to sound like student #275
