And, of course, this is why the LDS version of the afterlife is rather attractive -- there's always more to the story. ---- Laziness is why I haven't got around to the LDS genre novels that I've been intending to read. This is straight up willfulness somewhat along the lines of my refusal to watch "Dead Poet's Society" because everybody told me I'd like it so much. I agree, Michelle.

Laziness is why I haven’t got around to the LDS genre novels that I’ve been intending to read. This is straight up willfulness somewhat along the lines of my refusal to watch “Dead Poet’s Society” because everybody told me I’d like it so much.

It always comes across more as laziness than anything else. :-P No offense, Wm, but I’m not sure what that pride is buying you. It always comes across more as laziness than anything else. :-P

It's still useful to watch it sometime just to be 'in the loop' :) At least that's my excuse. I just barely read The Giant Joshua and surprisingly liked it a lot. But that's a subject for another post. BTW Tyler, I think Long After Dark is one of the titles currently being offered at a discount by Zarahemla Books. If you buy it, you should also get On the Road to Heaven if you have not read it yet. Eh, God’s Army isn’t that great, but I really liked States of Grace.
