Dropped this too. The Sun Also Rises was so good but Bell was boring. Haven't tried Farewell to Arms yet.

What i'm in for?

Reminder that present tense is based and Faulkner's best work was written in it. The advent of present tense as the standard tense in modern-day literature only further solidifies my point.
The future is now, faggots.

Guys, I'm losing steam on this one. Sure, it has some pretty passages, cinematic imagery, detailed human interactions; but it's so hidden and buried underneath mostly tiresome prose and confusing dialogue. Initially, my brain is telling me reading shouldn't be like this, or at least just not for me. I'm not giving up on it but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this book.

Thoughts

We'll be reading this in my upcoming American Lit class. What am I in for? Is this any good or will it be a slog?

What the absolute FUCK.

This book is just a bunch of hillbillies walking around not doing shit.

When does the emo shit come up?
