I shouldn't even read this guy

Who knew, when I inherited the curiosity after Madeleine's passing, that Beckett would turn out to be so damn funny?  I read that whole Molloy trilogy and milk was coming out my nose.  Well, not ordinary milk but more like tear-milk.  Now I'm reading How It Is and it is doing a number on my mind because it seems to be about being born and dying and the evolution of the species.  The first 20 pages, anyway.  So it makes me think very much about my father curled up senseless in his bed (in the mud) and it also makes me think about the lack of flocking, and the lack of togetherness.  And being born.  But not about giving birth.  One thing I notice about Sam, he's very much a guy.  Thank god there isn't a female Beckett or I would just split open.
