/lit/ - Literature

It may seem like a strange choice, but once you understand the novel as a whole, this ending really sticks with you. I know it pissed a lot of casual readers off. I think it's beautiful because it's full of possibility. At the same time, it leaves you with this wishful hope that love will exist for the protagonist despite his flaws. Very realistic as well, which makes it relate-able. Really good feels.

Has anyone here read it? If so was it good, and should I bother picking it up? Thanks in advance

The book itself was alright, but it felt like it was building up this really intriguing mystery and the payoff was disappointing.

What are some books similar to this one? I'm not new to /lit/ or anything, and I read a lot, so don't tell me to look at the sticky. I'm looking for something specific.

I picked up this book at a used bookstore for like 25 cents used paperback expecting it to be some sort of wacky postmodern novel -- something to taste and throw away, since I'd seen it on lists online. What I got instead was:

- extremely easy to read (in a good way)
- engaging story
- modern day prospero-esqe story with the most picturesque setting I've ever read

I'll admit it's a bit wanky in some areas because the author wanted to be "literary", but the way it's written, it feels like a really long, enjoyable Twilight Zone episode.

Are his other books this enjoyable? Any other authors similar? I'm looking for more light reading for after finals
