How do you expect to read absalam or to the waves or the light house without starting with earlier woolf or faulkner... You also bought a shit ton of pynchon meme books... did it ever occur to you that an authors style might not appease to you as it does others? Like seriously you might not even like pynchons writing style. IJ and BM aswell lmao. Also how the fuck did you decide to get the hardest possible modernist books but not pick up a signle joyce? Like seriously? You bought absalom which is an equivalent to nearly Ulysses level of difficulty. Like this is some serious autist level fucking thinking here. Also, lit dident meme you, you memes yourself everyone fucking tells people like you to start with the greeks so shit like this doesent happen. If you bought all the greek epic poems and platos works the you'd be fine but I promise you, you wont finish not a sinngle one of these books with any fucking understanding. As for House of Leaves; its the only book that'll youll be able to finish a simpleton as yourself. Dis-fucking-grace.

What do you do when you're in your early 20s and fucking retarded? What do you do if you forgot just about everything you learned in school besides how to read and write, until your fund of knowledge reached pitiful levels? Can you escape from stupidty this late in the game, or are you merely putting bandage over a festering wound?
