Tacelli InterVarsity Press, 1994 Buy. This. Book. If I could force every one of my students to read one book (absurd start to a sentence, I know) it would be this one.

When I was in high school, I and a few good friends made a pretty good hobby out of tormenting (in a good way, of course) one particular English teacher in our school. One of my favorite tactics in this teacher's classroom was to blurt out, in mock consternation, "How do you spell ______?" whenever I couldn't spell a word. Why? Because a) I was young and immature and a legend in my own ...             History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)43 reviews Anatoly Fomenko Mithec, 2004 Pants on fire?
