megillah (meh-GIL-uh) noun
A long, tedious account.
[From Yiddish megile (scroll), from Hebrew megillah, from galal (to
roll).
The term alludes to the length of the text in the Book of Esther which
is read in its entirety, twice, during Purim, a Jewish festival.]
Rally? Esther!?!?!? Now there is a book that reads like a novel. Unlike the who begat whom sections which are better than counting sheep.

Admiration Zed! You must be one of those legendary persons who read the whole Bible and then said: " Mom, I'm finished, can I have another book?"

I've read lot of it but certainly not in order or at one time. It has taken me rmphmumble years to do so. And I skipped the begats chapters because begosh and begorrah but there's a lot of begats.

That'd be Megillah Guerilla? No I think he's a Taliban insurgent. As opposed to one who wishes to subvert Internet Explorer - that would be mozilla.guerilla.
