I did not get very far into either of these, despite one of them having an all-time great title. Here are some representative excerpts which may explain why.
Are Snakes Necessary? by Brian De Palma and Susan Lehman
Her stiff yellow apron barely contains her voluptuous curves. For a moment Brock imagines a wrestling match between her giant breasts and the tight seams of her Ronald McDonald wear. His better ball starts to tingle.


Legends of the Jews, by Louis Ginzberg
Poetic phantasmagoria, frequently the vaporings of morbid visionaries, is the material out of which these scholars construct the theologic system of the Rabbis, and fairy tales, the spontaneous creations of the people, which take the form of sacred legend in Jewish literature, are denominated the Scriptural exegesis of the Rabbis, and condemned incontinently as nugae rabbinorum.
