Review of Bullshit Rodeo (what a fucking book!)

Bullshit Rodeo Bullshit Rodeo by Misti Rainwater-Lites

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Reading this book is an out-of-body experience. Misti Velvet is pining for Dan Zero and the quality of this is so hyper-sensitive that it becomes sublime. It pulls you in. You can't stop it. It can't be stopped.

Oscar Wilde
“How you can sit there, calmly eating muffins when we are in this horrible trouble, I can’t make out. You seem to me to be perfectly heartless."

"Well, I can’t eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs. One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them."

"I say it’s perfectly heartless your eating muffins at all, under the circumstances.”
Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

Oscar Wilde
“To be popular one must be a mediocrity."

"Not with Women," said the duchess, shaking her head; "and women rule the world. I assure you we can't bear mediocrities. We women, as someone says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all."

"It seems to me that we never do anything else," murmered Dorian.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”
