(Translating myself for whom it may concern)

"Meta taqra l-Bibbja qisek tkun qieghed taqra ktieb miktub minn xi tifel ta tmien snin. Ma nafx xinhu l-punt li taqra l-Bibbja hlief biex tkun tista targumenta mal Kristjani, imma nahseb li l-hin li tkun hlejt taqra l-Bibbja jista' jigi uzat ahjar."

What does these mean: tista, hlejt, jista, jigi, uzat?
I understood the resthock:.

What do the maltese think of libyans?

Tista = you can
Hlejt = wasted
Jista = it/he can
Jigi = it/he becomes
Uzat = become used

Well what do us Maltese think about Libyans..kind of a vast question but I'll try my best. Us Maltese in general don't really like people from upper Africa due to the large amount of refugees that come to our island (we have no problem with a few hundreds, but lately thousands of poor refugees have come into our country in seek of shelter). Given that Libya was involved in some serious rioting some time ago we are actually quite scared of that place to be honest. Very few Maltese actually visit Libya. On a personal level I have no problem with Libyans as they are people just like me

Hold your nose.

If you're having trouble making it out of Genesis you might just want to quit while you're ahead. Or just skip around from book to book or chapter to chapter and see if there's anything that grabs your interest. The book of Job might be pretty good for at least the first few chapters, and the book of Revelations can be interesting if you're high on something.

How does it feel, being high?

As for finding Ehrman's stuff, could you order it online?

I don't know how to do that (I don't have a debit card, and won't the customs check it).

I'm not up to speed on Libyan customs, so I don't know. Have you already started on the Bible?

I read at least 60 chapters in English and few of those in Arabic (and other languages even though I didn't understand much, I'm a language "geek") .

I think I gave many hints on my identity by now.
Or am I just paranoid.

Start with a couple of glasses of wine. It will help get you through that silly, boring, shit.

Wine is illegal. Why is everyone always suggesting alcohol.

No wonder your people are so uptight.

Sound advice. Uppers might help to keep from nodding off. Then add a pound of salt to keep from being taken in.
