Anyone who fails to appreciate you is a Philistine of the highest order.

A *Philistine*!

Carrying off the Ark of the Covenant.

I'm too much of a Philistine to get any but the least obscure Bible references.

I don't think that in particular is a mark of poor taste; I read the Bible over the summer when I was eight. I'm not fond of the associated theology but as a work of literature I appreciated it. My sister, on the other hand, tried it and condemned it as too dry.

I agree with her! I like old literature but I think reasons other than its quality as a work of fiction are really inflating Biblical sales, here.

Naturally. I do have atypical tastes.

You've got loads of company liking the Bible!
Permalink

I think most people who like it do so for different reasons than I do.

Permalink
That is true.

I wonder if the Thaumotologist scriptures would make good reading. 

Permalink
Faith sometimes quotes them, but I don't know if they're less pretty all strung together, or for that matter more coherent if you get more than a sentence at a time.

The Bible is very different when reading it than when being screamed at by preachers.

Permalink
Even not being screamed by preachers can't save the begats.

Isabella I have a horrible confession to make. 

Permalink
Oh no! What is it?
Permalink

I enjoyed the begats.

Permalink
You have questionable taste.

I will have to examine myself for begats.
Permalink

I was a small child! My taste has improved!

Permalink
I'm even more bewildered that you enjoyed begats as a small child but at least I don't have to check my seams for them!

It was--straightforward delivery of salient information. It could have been formatted better but it just didn't occur to me that there was anything wrong with it. 

Mind, this was in the interval between Mother's death and Father's remarriage, when we had a nanny, and the nanny refused to let us have any books that weren't "age appropriate" so I was somewhat starved for intelligent reading material.

Intellectually starved into liking begats. You poor thing.

My stepmother is terrible but fortunately when it comes to the day to day details of how Jaromira and I live our lives she tends more towards neglect than repression, even when we live in the same house as her.

Permalink
Ah, neglect. So useful in its way.

Renee (if this thing can type special characters idk how) isn't neglectful but she's scatterbrained, which isn't totally dissimilar.

Should I be concerned?
