You know, when I think about it, there really IS something quasi-religious about the supermarket!

I mean, it sounds really stupid to say something like that. I mean, REALLY stupid. But....... maybe that's just because it's so brilliant, it only seems stupid to mediocre minds like mine!

Yeah, maybe.

you were never in a supermarket in the 80s, kid

Just finished it last month. Penguin classic deluxe edition master race.

Wholeheartedly agree. Certain passages just tiring to read through given how he maintains that style or prose throughout the whole thing, but it's a wonderful work in its own right.

I know this is a joke, but it's worth saying that supermarkets have been around since the 1920's. I found that out in 10 seconds on google. I guess research was harder back in Delillo's time.

LMAO inb4 when its supposed to be named Panasonic but Panasonic corp. fucked DeLillo up real good.

This novel is a swift kick in the nuts to all north american families.

It's a painful read but describes the culture perfectly. If you hate it, it simply hits too close to home for you to cope.

I know you're shitreplying, but if you REALLY THINC ABOUT IT there is a weird rituality to going to the market and doing groceries, we take it for granted as just another activity, but so do religious people with mass and prayer.

ITT: nu-babies that cant fathom a book was written with context.

ah yes, delillo...i honestly find it a little too purple for my tastes...i have some major issues with delillo...yes, delillo...ah, i really must give you the scoop on delillo someday...
