So, I want to buy a Bible. There are many and various reasons for this, that I'll maybe go into another time- anyway, rest assured that I'm still the heathen you all know and love. No theism happening any time soon.

Anyway. So I went to see if I could get the cool little box-set book-by-book version off Amazon, because I can't find it in the shops anywhere, and I'm embarassed to ask for it (go figure). And, well. I'm enormously amused by what they've got in the "perfect partner" program with it.

Sadly, the version of the Bible that the UK Gideons now leave in hotel rooms so that guests will "swipe, repent, reform" (as was summarised brilliantly in A Tree Grows In Brooklyn) is now the Good News Bible, which is a perfectly awful translation, no sense of style, and no apparent sense of responsibility to provide a sound translation.

checked into a room
only to find Gideon's Bible.
Gideon checked out
and left it, no doubt,
to help with poor Rocky's
revival. ..."
