The McRib and the Sound and the Fury
Rather than make two threads I figure I'll do both of my reviews in the same one.
The McRib: What happened to this sandwich? Have I just gotten older and been subjected to too many health/"it's mostly hooves and beaks" campaigns? I have fond memories of its BBQy, porky goodness satisfying my most animalistic cravings, and was recently let down. It wasn't terrible tasting, but considering I haven't had one for like five years, you'd think it would be spectacular. Too many god damned onions and the bread could have been fresher. It was a sad fucking day yesterday. On a side note, you should probably eat one of those philly cheese steak burgers from Carl's Jr. (or Hardees depending on your geographic location). They're incredible.
The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner: It's confusing as shit for the first half of the book and then gradually starts to make sense. It ends up being good once you're finished, but is probably too frustrating for most people to get through without hearing a disclaimer like this first. If you can manage the first two parts by using sparknotes or something to keep track of the randomness chronologically, the rest falls into place and even sheds some light on the beginning. It's basically like a reverse McRib. Kinda blah at first but is good later on.
