should i bango and if so why?

finished hood by stephen lawhead. it's a good book, and i enjoyed it, but i am undecided about continuing with the series. i am sure the entire series is good, like the book, and i am not sorry i read the book, but maybe the one book is enough. undecided.

currently reading another stephen lawhead book -- the paradise war. both hood and the paradise war are set in england. lawhead himself lives in oxford, so that likely explains the setting. the paradise war is set in modern times; hood is set in midieval times. there is more use of references and lingo in the present book that are not immediately clear to a non-british speaking person. in hood it was all midieval and no one speaks midieval anymore besides mini-me, so it's not like anyone is going to really get that stuff, is it now? anyhootle, in general a certain number of these references & lingo occurrances are fun - especially if they can be deciphered from the context - but overuse indicates inadequate editing for the american audience.

but enough about lingo - what about language? while hood was mostly honor & betrayal & blood & guts, the paradise war holds promise of some intriguiging philosophical insights. from pg 13 -- Digital clocks are sympomatic of our ambivalent age; they provide he precise time to the nanosecond, but no greater context: an infinite succession of "You Are Here" arrows, but nary a map. bango! this is prigzactly the problem with being informed constantly about where we are geographically, temporally, developmentally, whatever. makes one finally want to shout - yes! okay! i am here! so the fig what?? should i be someplace else? is here good, bad, indifferent? should i move? and if so, why?

context. that is what is lacking in our lives. context. big picture. vision. overview. raisin-debtor.

does anybody really know what time it is?
does anybody care?
