Asides from that I have no *bleep*ing clue but thanks for reminding me of that great "scenery without solace" quote.

You're welcome, it was easily my favourite quote from the book, though the opening lines are great as well:

"It may seem odd to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."

Or something similar

quote Irish Gamer

Bringing up Neo is actually an interesting point because it kinda backs up the thing that the people don't necessarily have to be people you knew or met in your life.

I mean, if Redemption met me in heaven to explain my fetish for PM-sex I wouldn't know who he was would I? Until he told me

Well, I've exchanged a couple PM's with Redemption. So I have sort of met him. My real point is that Neo is really a part of people's lives.

quote Star_Wars_Fanatic

I don't believe in heaven.

You're gonna to die in vain for sure

Keren Miller, who is the only person I have ever truly trusted, even though I constantly lied to her. People like her are the kind of people who really make you think how truly awesome humans can be.
Nicholas Yarris, who I met last week. His story (exonerated after 23 years on death row) left me absolutely gob-smacked and just really struck a chord with me.


When I think about it, there isn't anybody else who has impacted my life as strongly as the 2 people above. I'm not close to any of my family, and although my friends are fantastic and some I have known for over a decade, I just haven't struck a deep-lasting bond with any of them, I don't feel. :/

It's difficult to choose certain people because I'd probably be more interested in what was being said than the person explaining it

Is there anything in particular you'd want to be explained then?

I agree with that. Anyone could tell me the irrefutable truth of life.

It's not necessarily the irrefutable truth of life, rather the truth of your life. For example, this would mean nothing to anyone else on this forum but it means everything to me:

quote Irish Gamer

I'd also hope my friend Colm would be there to explain to me the whole period surrounding his death.

I know this might should cold and heartless, but Colm is an awesome name. I might name my kid that. I'll do it in memory of your friend, Irish Gamer.

And the library at my college doesn't have the book.

Ha, why would I think that's heartless? It's a form of the old Irish Columba which means dove I think.

I first heard the name in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Do you know how much The Five People You Meet in Heaven costs online?

Edit: _{Lol, my 1200th post is about Video Games and Books. How'd I pull that shit off?}

I just bought this book off Amazon on the strength of the first post. So it better be good, otherwise you owe me �2.76, Irish Gamer.
