Some anon on here recommended this to me... I think he was yanking my chain.
It starts out pretty strong, possibly because I empathize with the beginning, but then quickly lives up to its pretentious title. It almost seems to be trying to be ironic. At this point, reading it is like trying to eat a loaf of stale bread whole with strep throat. Incredibly difficult, in other words.
Bottom line. Don't buy this book. I did get lucky for a couple of bucks though.

Just finished this. Wasn't mind-blowing or anything but a decent, fairly quick read with some genuinely funny and "heartbreaking" moments.

I can't remember /lit/'s consensus on it though. Are we supposed to hate it?

Who else found this to be aimless, pretentious bullshit?
