Noteable mostly at this point because she wears glasses and packs heat.and she has dark hair, too, so I just realized that she's just a leather catsuit and a fake accent away from The Baroness. In any case, I suppose the jury's still out. I'm not very far in the book, and I'm perfectly willing to read it as silly monster-movie mayhem. Regardless, the several cases of "Wait, what?" that popped up during my reading compelled me to go ahead and share my pain with you guys. Anyone else familiar with the author? Or heck, have any other books with ridiculous protagonists worth mentioning? I think the worst/best part is the fact that if I read this book when I was still a kid, I would've thought it was the BEST THING EVAR. Tam of Books Bikes Boomsticks puts it better than I can: they're pulp, proudly pulp, and expertly written in that concept. #Monster hunter international reading order how to. ![]()

In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas Iscariot is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus. In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. And far from being a villain, the Judas that emerges in its pages is a hero. Here was a gospel that had not been seen since the early days of Christianity, and which few experts had even thought existed-a gospel told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, history's ultimate traitor. When the bound papyrus pages of this lost gospel finally reached scholars who could unlock its meaning, they were astounded. ![]() ![]() Martin's unwavering commitment to a possession game brought 68 league strikes, 19 of which were scored by Joel Piroe.
