so... who got The Kindly Ones yesterday... hmm?

I'm passing because although I dearly love Blood Meridian,  1000  
pages of Nazi stuff kinda turns me off at the moment.    I read Ian  
Kershaw's 1000+ page 2 volume bio of Hitler and that was probably  
enough.   Also read Vollmann's Europe Central which was totally  
awesome but... .   I  guess I just don't have the energy for 1000  
pages of Nazi hubris right now.  (Is that what this is?)
