I know it’s widely considered one of the greatest novels of the 20th C but what did you like so much about it?

I've also read Capricorn - and Black Spring. I wasn't nearly as impressed.
I like it because it opened up my perspective about what good writing can be. It was like Miller opened up an armory of verbosity and profanity and released it upon an unsuspecting world! He's like the drunken Dr. Seuss to me and I owe him a great debt.
