it's been over 20 years since I read it
I might read it again and it'll all come back to me

interesting how the mind stores info

Ever read Toole's other novel, "The Neon Bible"?

It's depressing as hell.

I started it in high school and some fool stole it from me. Or I lost it.

Maybe it is time to finish it, I need a good book now.

I read it a few years ago. It cracked me up. I liked how he called everyone a mongoloid.

 

[Spartacus]

Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared
