The plot and character development was good, but when the ending hit...

>this 1 guy getting crucified on a lit forum for having read a lot of books

>reading about 1571 Tatar sack of Moscow for Ottoman class
>reading about Pugachev rebellion for another class the same week
>try to make a point about how it was amazing that a steppe army could get still so threatening right in Russian territory in the 18th century
>say Pugachev burned Moscow

>someone actually gets trolled into reading Pynchon
>doesn't even realise he's been trolled

How many rabbit holes is this now

Memory exercise.

Think of a novel you have not read for at least five years. Now, without any help, write the most detailed summary that you can. Characters, plots and subplots, etc.

How much do you really remember?

lets uncover sum facts that you assume to be uncomfortable truths for /lit/

- you can always rationalize your own failures as the result of "staying true to yourself"

-whenever there were strange breaks in your life you can rationalize them as "other peopke not being true to themselves"

-you can reinforce everything in bukowski novels, or celine, or kafka, or PKD, or HST
