Chapter Two wrote:Another was thrown out for tearing out the pages and eating them. Imagine a fourteenth century monk, painstakingly devoting a year of his life to create the minutely detailed pages of a book of hours; imagine those pages outlasting the reformation, the civil war, all the bloody history of the British Isles, and housed finally in a building designed to preserve these works for a thousand years. Now imagine a man walking into said building, using his right as a British citizen to handle these pages, taking them to a table, turning on the lamp, and committing those pages to finally end their days being digested in the guts and shat out of the arse of a mentally ill man.


Some of the rare books in Fordham's library had the engravings threaded out.

Some of the crimes against books I have seen could make a person weep.

That thing looks like absolute shit. It looks like something on those commercials for "starving artist" sales, or that mail-order art school. In other words, art for people who don't like art.

It is so obvious from the look on the face of the man behind the rider that the rider is being pursued. Could Bush have looked at this painting a million times and never spotted that??


Rick, think about who we're talking about here for a moment...

That said, I agree with Lemur. But then again, you have to remember it was painted for the Saturday Evening Post, not exactly a high-end artistic publication.
