Timequake is also a great one if you've enjoyed his other work I taught how to be sociable with ink on paper. I told
my students that when they were writing they should be
good dates on blind dates, should show strangers good
times. Alternatively, they should run really nice
whorehouses, come one, come all, although they were in
fact working in perfect solitude. I said I expected
them to do this with nothing but idiosyncratic
arrangements in horizontal lines of twenty-six phonetic
symbols, ten numbers, and maybe eight punctuation
marks, because it wasn't anything that hadn't been done
before.

Sure the Bible might be the greatest story ever told, but the most popular story is about a couple who has a good time fornicating, but then stops for one reason or another while it is still a novelty.
