Author: William Faulkner
“This book is like an ungrateful girlfriend. You do your best to understand her and get nothing back in return.”
Amen. With apologies to our own occasional poster Wm. Faulkner, of course.

About Gravity's Rainbow, someone says:
- “When one contrasts Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five with this book, it’s like comparing an Olympic sprinter with an obese man running for the bus with a hot dog in one hand and a soda in the other.”
Is that really a complaint?
