>>>And, regarding that book, mention of it here propelled
me to read another ten pages. It's like having my mind
yoked to a washing machine. Twenty mentions of Oedipus
on a page are enough to loosen any established meaning.<<<
Yeah, I'm using it as an anti-anchor point for my current reading. A few
pages of D&G then switching around from title to title among the other books
is Ritalin for my troubled mind. I tried to read Miller many times over the
years and had a reaction similar to MalignD's, but this time the chapter
about the Hindu turds (p. 72ff, Grove Press ppb) and the chapter which
begins with the disappearance of the princess (p. 216ff) delighted me.
