I just finished master and margarita which was great. thinking of what to read next. is pic related a meme or is it worth it? my work schedule leaves me with very little time to read and the book is 900 pages long but what i've heard about it interests me greatly.

TLDR: redpill me on 2666

Of all the current and past meme books, how does this meme actually weigh up? Is it actually a meme or worth a read?
