Never Let Me Go was entertaining for a rainy evening last week, though I'd imagine it could feel a little repetitive if you read it slower. Still, it's poigniant and memorable, not to mention exceptionally devoid of hope.

Just found this little nugget, /lit/, and thought of you...

Dammit I’m mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I’m a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I’m it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I’m mad.

Oh, I don't have a problem, it's just the end got cut off and didn't make much sense.

As you were.

The Iliad has a whole chapter listing the names of Greek ships, and little else. That said, it also has awesome bromance.

Odyssey, though, that's pretty awesome, and probably has the best discussion-potential, if that's any merit. Still, I might have to say I prefer the Aeneid to either. Eh, I love 'em all.
