Fine, I'll try to upload it by Monday, it's an old one, though. Unfinished, but old nonetheless

I read that the alarm state had been lifted.
BTW, I ought to be informed too, since the alarm was also set in the Pacific, that is Ensenada.
But I thought the posible Tsunami would be caused by an iceberg the size of Luxemburg that fell in the Arctic Ocean

It depends on the bookstore's own policies. I do remember a library that had it's own Starbucks inside and you could read any book in it while drinking coffee.

Also, right now I'm reading the first book of the Dark Tower series, and so far it's good. King's crude style can be found throughout every paragraph.
As for books I've read recently, Graceling was good, very intense and I would dare say it has superior narrative than Eragon.

By the way, I just saw "Book of Eli" yesterday, and I found it more enjoyable than I expected. It could have been deeper in some parts given the setting of the plot, but is actually well driven.
At first I thought it was going to be a Mad Max ripoff, but there is more to the movie than you might think.

How would you credibly give lines to so many characters?

You can always get something better by combining it with something else that is just as awesome.
Just add "like me and you" at the end and you have my default pick up line.

Mostly the way he (most of the time wrongly) despises other cultures in favor of the Greeks.
This was obviously made in a hurry, poorly researched.
While it is true that the Greeks came up with their political system, it was the Romans who spread it to Europe, and from there, to the colonies that would be found from the the XV century forward.

Architecture; there are Egyptian ruins which present the same "column" design he atributes to the Greeks.
The Corinthian style was actually introduced by the Romans after... something happened to Greece (I can't exactly remember that architecture open course I once went to).
Also, pedophiles.
