Blogorrhea

Before logging in for my daily post, I clicked on a link to one of the recently updated Blogger blogs. I do not recommend such careless clicking.

This time, I visited Cale's Eng102 Blog. This person apparently has posted a paper about forced induction and increasing a car's horsepower.

Bored, I scrolled to the bottom and found a month-old post, which reads:

Cale's Reading Log:

I was recommended to read the Da Vinci Code and have for a total of 2 hours now. The books 3rd person perspective and rather complex plot have made it rather hard to follow so far. The main protagonist is Robert Langdon and it looks like he will be interpreting religious symbols to investigate a murder.

I'll ignore the terribly awkward passive voice in the first sentence and just say, Cale, buddy, you'll be fine. If The Da Vinci Code were so tough to follow, it wouldn't still be the New York Times No. 1 hardcover fiction best seller. And at this point, saying, "It looks like [Robert Langdon] will be interpreting religious symbols to investigate a murder," is like reading The New Testament and saying, "Well, this Jesus character seems to use parables to teach people how to do the right thing; I have a hunch he's going to try to save everybody's soul."

I'm going to go read a novel called Moby Dick now. I'm not sure, but I think it's about some sort of sea creature and a man trying to capture it.
