I may be too squeamish to handle them. Yeah...I'll assume this isn't a parody account and go ahead and tell you for someone of your leanings, these are NOT the books for you.

Ha you know, thread derail, but I literally just finished watching the most recent one, and dear lord, tom cruise is going to kill him self making these.

We're dealing with a Bakker readership that has long ago abandoned the Analogies in favor of the Gnosis. And yet there is a third way, borne of water, found in the desert. A way of pure faith.

Tears of Lys Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Say what you will of Bakker (and I know you will!) the man did have a way of capturing our imaginations like few others. I wonder if 500 years from now people will still be using Bakkerisms in their conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I’m somewhat pessimist about Bakker ever publishing more books at this point so I dunno if the story will ever go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkdaub Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 5 minutes ago, Triskele said: Yeah. I also still can't help but have a hard time trusting Bakker on some of his statements. Like, when it talks about messing with reader's expectations I could see it all having been intentional, but I also worry it's just something to say in reaction to people not appreciating the final result as much as he'd hoped. I confess that I'd still be getting the next book were there one. The ending would sting less if one weren't so worried that this was truly it combined with comments that this was really where it was all supposed to end which suggests that several of the unresolved issues were never to be resolved. So weird. I feel like it would be better for this type thing to just be the author reacting. If I believed an author was actually doing that it's likely I'd never read them again. Easy for me to say, though, as I gave up on Bakker after one book. An author I'm invested in might have me singing a different tune. Also...there are Bakkerisms? Like what?
