Well, It's certainly not my type of story! I prefer sophisticated, Well researched and deep Linguistic and historical books.

Fair enough.
I stick to fantasy and sci-fi novels myself. Not that I mind reading more sophisticated stuff if it happens to catch my interest, but usually it has to be something scientific, like about space or something, for me to want to read it.

And I forgot to mention mythology. You'd be surprised how much real history is hidden in mythology books.
I used to be a space Sci-Fi fan myself, My favorite movie being "Alien"!

Mythology is pretty interesting too.
I never got around to watching any of the alien moves except Alien Vs Predator, which I realize is hardly the best out of either franchise, but considering it was the only one I'd ever seen, I absolutely loved it. I need to watch the rest of the Alien movies. I almost did when I was younger but my big brother decided it would scare me so he didn't let me watch it. And then when I got older I just never bothered trying to look it up, lol

By the way, Did you ever get to reading the Gilgamesh? I remember you said it sounds interesting.
The original Alien is fantastic if you enjoy sci-fi horror movies, The second one's fine, Don't even bother watching the rest, They're terrible. Just my experience.

Ah man, I meant to, but I think I got distracted and ended up forgetting about it. I'd probably need to find it online or something, idk if I feel like spending money on books right now. I suppose I would if I had to, though.
Yeah I've heard about the same. But I love a good sci-fi movie so if I like the first two enough, I'll probably end up going to the next just to see. I'm not too picky about movies tbh, I mean I liked the live action How the Grinch Stole Christmas even though everyone calls it terrible, lol

The book is available online. You don't have to buy it!
Your profile states you're an Atheist. If that statement is valid, You will utterly despise the third one, Trust me on this one. But the rest you will enjoy if you're a big fan of sci-fi.

Oh, nice.
And is that so? Ah well, I might still check it out anyway. I don't really mind if a story has religion in it as long as it's not too preachy. But even then if it's good enough I can just ignore that aspect of it.
