#disaster #bookbinge @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I randomly came across the title poem here as a young teenager and it made me so mad that I‘ve never actually read anything by Brautigan, but it‘s also stuck with me all these years…
When you take your pill
it's like a mine disaster.
I think of all the people
lost inside of you.
bailedLook, I‘m no prude and I‘ve been known to swear a lot, especially if I‘m mad, but this is over-the-top vulgar. If you don‘t mind the word f*ck in every other sentence, or a 15 year old f*cking the two hired guns, then this might be fine for you. I got to 39% of the very short audiobook and I just can‘t stand listening to this for another 1 1/2 hours. Eff that.
pick🎧 Same author as In Watermelon Sugar … weird story BUT I loved this one!!
1942, private Investigator, wise cracking, foul mouthed, loser. A prostitute has been murdered & he‘s been hired to steal her body from the morgue.
It‘s wacky, trippy, 60‘s writing but I LMAO. It‘s dark. It‘s honest. Its SHORT! It‘s funny.
Bronson Pinchot narrates. Perfection.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4
pickWhat a strange novel(la) . Two professional killers at the turn of the twentieth century are approached by daughters of a famous scientist to kill the monster that now inhabits the laboratory of his mansion in Oregon. Will leave what happens next to you to find out. Cannot say I was satisfied completely with the conclusion, but I now understand Brautigan‘s reputation as a great writer - he hooked me and I finished in a sitting.
