/lit/ - Literature

So, is this worth a read?

Ulysses too.

Can someone recommend one book to read next?

I'm not overly literate so i would like to see what more acquired readers think of this. I have been given a copy to read and it is the most infuriatingly awful book i have ever read. This is pure cheap spite.

I see it as nothing more than a device for people to attach their own personal experiences. Place themself as this books protagonist and use this books logic to blame their problems on, rather than the fact they are just fucking stupid. All the characters in this book are horrible awful and stupid people. Love and what this book describes have no correlation. This book is to allow people to justify stupidity with love, and project their own lives into rather than taking responsibility for themselves.

this book grants people artistic license to distort their lives and flaws as something driven by passion, rather than selfishness or weakness.

I have been given this book to "understand better" the person who gave it to me, i know exactly why they gave it to me, because they see themself in the past as this characters protagonist. And knowing this person it vehemently disagree with that comparison.

Please forgive the rant, i have never been this angry because of a book.

I'd love to see what /lit/ thinks of it.
