"If God exiists," he said, "He's a fink. Or more likelt a foot: a giant, omniscient, omnipotent Foot. Do you think that is blasphemous?"
I have tried many times now to write a short summary of this book, but I really just ... Can't. At least not in a way that will really show how good this story is. You follow a milliary psychiatrist as he battles his own demons, while trying to help as many as he can in his new job at a millitary asylum. Beyond that, it just gets ... weird.
I loved everything about this book, but a lot of people hate it and I can understand why. This book makes up a lot of its own rules. It's funny and just down right strange. However, it never pushes out of the lines it creates for itself. It's the only book I've ever read where a man could be preparing to make plans for war in one room, then leave to write a Shakespearean play for/with dogs in the next.
