Title: I bought A Canticle for Liebowitz

Finally. You guys keep suggesting it, so I picked it up today. My wife calls it "A Testicle for Liverwurst". I'm just about 50 pages in, when Brother Francis goes back to the Abbey amd they're all, "Shut you mouf, yo". It's good.

so so awesome.

there was also a prequel that was released in the 90s finished from his notes or from an outline he did, which i've been told is not as good.

From now on, whenever I watch M<ad Men I'll pretend it's the prequel.
