I did, but only cuz it was directed at me. If it hadn't been I'd not have bothered, simply because it would have zapped every ounce of fun out of the topic. Reading isn't my favourite passtime.

It shows.
I hadn't read a whole book until quite recently, either. Does it show? I think it's more common than people realise.
 
I don't actually go in the 'God' topic because i have nothing to say on that matter... But i do usually read UC's posts....

Thats was epic though.... halfway through i was worried about my finger cramping...

Yes.

Now it's obvious that only book you've read is The God Delusion. :p
 
I read it because I've been following the topic. If the topic interests me, I'll read everything in it. I'd neither make special effort to read it, nor skip it, based on who it was written by or the length of it.

Boring answer.

LIES. Look I can formulate a list of the books I've read and everything...

The Da Vinci Code
Angels and Demons
Haroun and the Sea of Stories
The Selfish Gene
The God Delusion

Okay, I'll agree, there is a running pattern there... Haroun was unintentional, and it's still part of the pattern.

WHATEVER...At least I don't think hearing is a better sense than sight, at least my eyes aren't squiffy and at least I can spell my own name.
 
I only read it in this topic as I was intrigued as to what would compel someone to write so much in one post.

It usually depends, for instance if it was a trip report and it was that long I'd probably read it but if it was about someone's love of coffee I would probably skip it.
 
I normally read all UC's posts because his well thought and and articulated (and sometimes a bit nasty) remarks are amazing, but alas this one was too long for me, sorry UC!

He is normally right and I must say I've had the odd bash from UC but I still don't care, he's a great guy and he doesn't mean to offend people in his posts. He just tries to make sure idiotic statements or opinions are eradicated and prove when people are wrong.

I'm surprised UC himself hasn't posted in here.
 
Erm...I got about a third of the way through before realising that I have better things to do...

Best bit:

UC said:
I could spend pages upon pages explaining my belief - but I don't

:--D

I like UC and his posts, they used to really piss me off, but now I "enjoy" reading them. I've got used to his mannerisms??, so its allll cookies and cream now
