Why is this fucking piece of trash loved by so many people? I literally just engaged in a physical fight with a friend who loves this garbage of a book just because I kept laughing when he said it was his favorite book.

Glad I kicked his ass.

When does it get good? 100 pages in now. I'm enjoying some passages but mostly it just reads like a weird movie. I'm not even American.

>I am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies. My posture is consciously congruent to the shape of my hard chair [...]. My fingers are mated into a mirrored series of what manifests, to me, as the letter X.

What's your justification for not dropping the book instantly after that horrendous vein revealingly hard trying opening prose?
