Oh, cover your eyes, your heads, run, you fool, run, for enlightened titan Mandy (his presence heralded by the howling motion of innumerable forgotten pages, his passage dotted by an ophidian cavalcade of insights lost to human purview, la, la) is scratching at scrote again, and you don't want the measure of human literature, stone and light, in triplicate, competing for your humble headspace in a non-consensual and thoroughly violent manner, do you, no, 'tis an undeniably precious commodity. :drunk:

agreed, more akin to the chaotic quintessence that is Blargh

Hmm, just finished the latest Gaunt's Ghosts book, by Dan Abnett. And pawing through here, I saw Xenocide, a title that I had read once, and could never remember the name of, but finally did, so I do believe that'll be what I read next.

Just started Confederacy of Dunces, and is living up to the hype so far. I've yet to be dissappointed by a Pullitzer Prixe winner (although I've only read the testosterone orientated ones - Killer Angels, Executions's Song, Lonesome Dove, Hemingway, Faulkner etc.) very well written American dysfunction at it's best. :drunk:
