Blood Meridian

[rich]

maybe i just sucked as much as I could outta that book--no pud
interned, that is  or that I liked the watermelon-fucking guy in
Suttree better than the Judge.

does Apocalypse Now stand the test of time? many unintentional funny
parts in that.

Heart of Darkness is so much better said than the cosmic hooey in BM

some passages in BM are just unintentionally plain funny it's so over
the top like the Bible, like the future sermons of Pope Ratboy,
erstwhile Hitler Youth and Grand inquisitor, or rapture fuckheads who
like reading revelations and fucking their bored wives. the sine qua
non common to these folks is the utter lack of humor.

u wanna be reading BM on your deathbed?

rich (in hell)
