Thank you, much appreciated, post updated. I totally agree with you, that book started out alright, found the quote about 1/3 into MtD (ch.10). It just got crackier and crackier. I had to skim it the first time, it was so bizarre.
Yes, in retrospect, MtD was definitely kind of awesome by comparison to the EVEN CRACKIER BOOKS (Blood Canticle, more like WTF Canticle.)
