Well, SAGN is one hard book to read, even for a college grad like myself. Watch the movie instead. Much better, and fewer tangents. The book was hard for me to read because Kesey messes with your mind. On purpose. The book is set in central west Oregon, but then he mixes up Reedsport, Mapleton, Eugene, Yoncalla and other similar places into one. It was confusing for me having lived in that area. Seemingly that is how he saw that area when he was doing LSD and traipsing around with the Merry Pranksters on a hippie bus. Kesey also messes with grammar. While the movie overseas was called "Never Give An Inch," the phrase in the book, scrawled in Henry Stamper Sr's hand with a yellow logging marker on Hank Jr's wall when he was a baby was, "Never Give A Inch." A, not an. But people automatically rephrase it in their heads.
I do not care for bear meat. But I will take all the elk that you have. We can grill it on an overheating V8 engine valve cover. I also drink Corona with lime, and PBR. I got hooked on the Coronas while I was living in Sandy Eggo. PBR I got used to because that was the only beer that my ex would not drink. Otherwise she would drink all the beer when I was up falling trees or cutting what Kesey called "the Hellish greenery".
