GO AHEAD AND TOUCH MY ZIPPER

Guuuuuuurl.

Here’s how my reading of the Brideshead Revisited book went.  Me: So I came because of gay? There’s gay here, right?  Book: There is no gay here. Only miserable alcoholism, miserable adultery, and miserable monologues on Catholic guilt.  Me: Gee, seems like everyone involved would be better off if they weren’t involved with Catholicism - Book: That’s the point. The deader inside they are, the closer they are to God.  And I’m supposed to be happy when the main character is very dead inside and a converted Catholic at the end…? Yeah I don’t get it.
