Just finished reading the Book of Genisis for Eng Lit.
And it's a bloody chore. Everything from the divine creation to Noah's flood is skirted over in a matter of minutes before the enlightened author gets to the really important stuff: page after page detailing how a bunch of pissant, inbred shepherds bickered, fought and stole women and livestock from each other - while Egypt rose up nearby like a monumental reminder of how shit goat-herding is compared to developing culture and generally being progressive.After attempting to retain more names than a copy of the yellow pages I gave up and cruised my way up to the point where some daft Pharaoh actually hires a lucky sonovvabitch goat-herder due to his hallucinations. Unsurprisingly, the daft bastard immediately uses his newfound authority to put all his other homicidal goat-herder friends and family into positions of enormous power (after dicking them around a bit and generally being a devious cunt, like most of the other heroes encountered so far.)
Bet that Pharaoh felt like a bit of a twat by then. I certainly did.
