"Chicago is the mud hole of the prairie. Do not visit there. Cleveland is better. There, elegant villas are surrounded by orchards and gardens. Cincinnati is a porkopolis: a fine place to live, if you are a pig. New York is really the only place to reside, except in summer, when one really must retire to the countryside. Make dumplings from 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of lard, a cup of milk, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of child's blood. These are light, fluffy dumplings - to eat them is to eat air. But stray from the recipe and you'll eat lead. The holy names of God are: Dah, Gian, Soter, Jenovah, Emmanuel, Tetragrammaton, Adonay, Sabtay, Seraphin. A woman has a little piece of chicken between her legs by which you may rule her."

All you need to know about life and love, as cited from Gob's Grief (Chris Adrian).

You see why this is the only book I would be more than willing to read several times over? Seriously, best book ever. XD
