It is, but the only thing I've ever read that was more depressing was "The Road".Pappa wrote:I read the first few chapters of Cancer Ward a couple of years ago, but didn't finish it.

I tried "We", but it was too turgid and slow. Needed more tits.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Pogromatic Stuff
Anyone ever read The Bickford Fuse, by Andrei Kurkov? It's tough going at times, and weird, but good. I think.
My favourite Kurkov book is probably Death and The Penguin, or maybe The Case of the General's Thumb.
