It's indistinguishable from the nonsensical shite schizos write. This is what a medically trained professional will tell you. And assholes still pretend that it's a wonder of literature, mostly for the benefit of each other. Pretending you appreciate 700 pages of turgid shite that makes no sense or drug-addled drivel you'd need to be equally high to appreciate are shibboleths for pretentious literary dickheads, is what I'm saying. Gimme his letters about eating his wife's farts any day of the week instead.

gravitys rainbow is pretty lame imho. people who read it and say they legit enjoyed are similar to people who read finnegans wake and claim to enjoy it

If you wanna talk about massive obscure novels where weird poo poo happens you should check out Terra Nostra where it ends with the last man and woman on earth fingering each other in the butthole until they fuse together as a dickgirl

I would watch Lars Von Trier do Blood Meridian

unless it was like an HBO miniseries i can't imagine fitting all of blood meridian in to a movie. also it would be impossible to get rated

seeing the comanche scene on film would be amazing if done right
