It's about 2000 pages on my ereader but I'm already a quarter done. I think it's his best work, and this version is worth reading.
I've also been listening to Doug Stanhope's "Digging Up Mother". I probably wouldn't recommend it unless you're a fan, but I'm really enjoying it.

In the original cut book there was no meeting between "The Kid" and the Trashcan man.
I've just always liked the Randall Flag character, and especially when they're talking about him like he's the Devils Imp or in the service of Satan. Then Glen Bateman kind of stands up and basically says "Wait a minute, we're all sitting here serving some 108 year old woman who claims to talk to God. Maybe the Devil is the last vestige of rational man"
Very cool scene
