I just recently found a book in my basement.
 
Silly little thing. Written by ...this fellow
 
Hendrik Willem van Loon
 
I've read a bit of it already. Talking about the Sumerians and such. Cuneiform and all that.
 
Is this fellow more better than say Zecariah Sitchin?
 
I'm just wondering what you might have to say about it.

Oh my word!

My mother was a BIG Van Loon fan and since I inherited her books, I have several of his books in my library; including this one. I haven't read them in many decades, but do have fond memories of treading "VAN LOON'S LIVES", a bio of many famous people, all in one volume.

I believe that more better is incorrect English. You ought to use the term "Betterest".

The van Loon book is available online. I've got a copy (picked up at a library sale) and have never read it. But I'll go out on a limb right now and say he's much better than Sitchin.
