>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 13 18:33:30 2010 No.552133 >>550980 You obviously never read it if you can't remember Pirate's fucking banana breakfast from the first goddamn chapter.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 13 18:37:30 2010 No.552145 >>552133 I remember it now it's named explicitly. But it is such a multi-faceted novel that I'll hardly remember that part just from the mention of fruit. You probably only read the first 100 pages which is why it is so memorable to you.
