I think you just hook 'em with "Kung walked by the dynastic temple..." -
anyone who doesn't hyperventilate on their first exposure to that one
doesn't have a soul.  The people who like it then fall into two groups; those
who combine really liking it with the persistence to plow through the acres
of moronic piffle in the Cantos in order to enjoy the other good bits, and
those who don't. -Tim
