Chronicle Supposing Books The Scriptlings
"Master Dung's study was silent. So silent, in fact, that one might have been able to hear a gnat passing air, if only an obligingly flatulent gnat had happened nearby."The Scriptlings is the unlikely, yet strangely charismatic lovechild you would expect if Magic and Science were to have one too many drinks during a stand-up comedy show in Vegas.
In short, it follows the story of Merkin and Buggeroff, two magician apprentices in a world where magicians are capitalists, computers are quasi-magical, and goats are sometimes invisible - all under the watchful eye of a wandering tribe of monosyllabic demigods.

What a unique, quirky and interesting book! Knowing the ins and outs of programming and the development of operating systems is almost a requirement to get the most out of this book. My Sumerian is not as advanced as my Latin or Russian, but it was a lot of fun to read the spells :) The humor is constant and clever, and shows the quirky and quick mind of the author.The start of the book was stronger than the finish. The "tribe" thing was interesting at the start, especially the details of theirIt is great. It's not perfect. In fact, it's quite far from perfect. It shows and it's delightful. The passion of newcomers can be quite refreshing and this book certainly makes a point out of proving it.The cynical re-interpretation of witchcraft, the lewd and punny names given to the characters as well as the easter eggs in the book, they will all elicit mixed feelings from the reader. But rest assured, they will not leave you indifferent.Be warned, however: the story's weaved at a rather
I admit I was tempted to read this book first of all because of its name. A friend of mine told me about it, and its name won my heart from the beginning. I mean, an author who names his book "The scriptlings" simply HAS to have the necessary and sufficient dose of imagination that would make me want to read it. And then came page 1. And 2. And 3. And I found myself unable to put it aside. It's funny, amusing, smart, the words are chosen perfectly for each scene, the character names are very
I read this book a while ago, and I had 'write a review' on my todo-list ever since, but I just didnt get around to actually do it. Well, better late than never:This book achieved something that I would have thought to be completely impossible in this plane of existence: It made me *like* Clippy, the animated paperclip that was the never-helpful-but-always-annoying 'assistant' in Microsoft Office for a number of years. Only in this case, it is Stapley, a talking staple, and it resides in the
My review keeps disappearing, but this book is awesome so I'm gonna keep reposting it:I've just reread this book, and the only conclusion I can possibly draw from my previous four-star rating is that I am mentally deficient. You'll be glad to know though that I've made significant recovery, realised the error of my ways, and am now giving this book 5 stars.The Scriptlings is basically a magical land of awesomeness. (Yes, yes I've been out the last two nights. Don't expect an erudite review!) It
