Ham On Rye while direct, is harrowing and vivid.

It brings forward the question of whether many books are indirect in style simply as they just have less to say to the reader.

I'm not questioning the relevance of complicated literature, but would you read entirely dense works consistently for enjoyment, or is it something you would just read in Starbucks for credibility or for the fact that the cover matches your shoes?

Same, the fact that he wasn't scared of the physical pain didn't even cross my mind until the end of the book. Such a resilient guy physically.
