28/12/10 - Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness

I've read it a few times - so nice to come back. So haunting - the mystery, even cult, of Kurtz. Then we hear so little from him before he dies. Loved the book again - but think I need to read it again - only a few pages about the horror and I think I missed their significance at the time. Excellent last words - 'The horror! The horror!' - beats 'Could you pass the mayonnaise'.
