eating shit in GR

[Dustin Iler]

Are you thinking of Brigadier Pudding eating Katje's shit? That would be on 
pg. 238 of the great books of the 20th Century edition, and on pg. 235 of 
the Penguin 20th Century Classics edition.

But since you said later on in the book, you could perhaps be thinking of 
the dinner with Bodine, Mexico, and a host of others. Which in the edition 
you mention is on 729 (starting a page or two prior) and in the 20th century 
classics on page 716 or so.

Hope that your hunger is satiated.

Take Care,
Dustin
