Me, I'm the opposite: my fave by far is _CL49_. I think _GR_ is
turgid, over-written, fundamentally simplistic and too full of

_CL49_ is elegant, eliptical and suggestive where _GR_ is overly
baroque.
By the way, Bloom's argument about _CL49_ is that it gives him
the sense that _Miss Lonelyhearts_ is imitating it...
