Scott Adams – God’s Debris

Posted in Books on November 20, 2005 by Shane Williamson
Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoons, has an interesting book duo that is pretty much about God, The Universe, Life and Everything. The first of which is available free as an e-book.
 
The first part of the pair titled "God’s Debris" is a FREE downloadable e-book that is a great piece of fiction with some excellent thought provoking themes. This is one of those rare occurrences that will have people debating it for some time.
 
The book discusses many topics of vast debate and within the simple context of a conversation the reader is blindsided into a well articulated view of how things are or aren’t.
 
This was a great Sunday afternoon read. I’ll definitely be buying the hard cover versions of these books for the home library.
 

A world embracing Potter.

Holy Feathery Flying Griffons Hagrid!
 
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince sold 9 Million copies in the first 24 hours of sale in UK & USA alone
 
Also…. JK Rowling earn’t a reported 24 Million Stirling Pounds in that 24 hour period.
 
And…. "Half-Blood Prince” easily generated more than $100 million in revenue, making the book the richest opening in publishing history
 
 
No wonder the Catholic church hates it so much……

It takes that long to print a book!?!?!?

JK Rowling has completed the sixth Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the half-blood Prince) this week and the publishers, Scholastic and Bloomsbury, have announced it will be available in July 2005 !?!?!

I have it on good authority that they could have the books out in February. So why the long delay? Article here

Oh and if you are waiting for the next Harry Potter films……

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, based on the fourth book, is due out in theaters on November 18, 2005, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, based on the fifth book, is eyeing a June, 2007 release date.
