THE GREAT BOOK SLAUGHTER

[The Good Reverend Roger]

See?  Brits and Canadians.

You'll never see a Real American reading that papist nonsense.

People actually read Ulysses? 

I mean, other than lit majors?

Only in Britain and Canada

, with one (1) notable exception on the East Coast, and he was killed by Suu in a bizarre accident involving a toilet plunger and an apple coring tool.

I fail to see what could be bizarre about that.

Or accidental, come to think of it.

Yes, that too.

I've never read Thomas Hardy. I had a good crack at Ulysses though, but put it down, and for no reason in particular, never picked it up again. I admit, I was never a big fan of American "Literature", until I read "Moby Dick".  Since then, I've read Kerouac, Thompson, Herbert, Vonnegut, Twain, Hemmingway, and I'm coming around to the fact that yes, you do have some books worth reading. I just haven't read them all, that's all. For social injustice, I read "Roots", does that count?

It's not bad.  But you really have to read To Kill a Mockingbird.  It explains everything there is to know about rural America, early last century or today.

I'll read it first chance I get. I think my next door neighbour has a copy, but I'm not sure.

For added relevance, beat the neighbor up and take the book.

It will add to the experience.

She's hard as nails, but she might be a little less hostile if I had more sex with her.

Oh, that's even better.  Now you HAVE to read the book.

So if she asks why I'm having sex with her, I'll tell her you said it would be OK. (She'll be fine with that) 

[Adios]

Try rodeo sex!

[BadBeast]

Try rodeo sex!

Does it involve Livestock? Cuz if it does, I'm not sure I'm ok with that.

[Adios]

At the critical moment yell the wrong name.

Try to stay on for 8 seconds.

  I can see that becoming some sort of perverse sport. (If it's not already)
