Ishmael is not a book.
I just saw a thing on the internet where a person said there favorite book is Ishmael, and it reminded me of when my sister and I were reading passages out of it. It is awful, and not a book. If you want to read things that can help you live life in a different way, and to stray away from the pattern of those who came before, read an actual BOOK. Ishmael is not a book so it doesn't count. It is also written horribly: dialogue no one would ever exchange, characters that don't make sense and a plot that doesn't matter. Ishmael is not a book. It looks like a book, but when you open it up you will find that it is just a bunch of pieces of paper with words on them that are stuck together on one edge in numerical order. Ishmael is not a book. This is the first negative thing I have put on this blog, so I am hoping that no one is offended, but Ishmael is not a book.

Matt - what do you mean? You and Ryann and I spent many hours being entertained by "Ishamel" the talkin gorilla!! By the way, I am telling Ryann that Steve needs to read your review- let's see what he has to say!
As a professional, I can assure you that Ishmail meets all of the requisite qualifications to be considered a book. But then, I use the term "book" more contemptuously than you do.
Matt is most certainly right. Ishmael is not a book. It is more like a virus that sucks up your time and leaves you weak from fits of laughter. If you are aware that it is not a book you could use it as humorous entertainment...
