I'm not usually one to read fiction (last novel I read was Animal Farm six years ago) but I started reading this today because a friend of mine raves about it. I know it's considered one of the best books of the 20th century but so far I'm not sure what to make of it. What does /lit/ think of it?

It's not one of the best books of the century. In fact, it is a horrible book. The premise is good though.

I enjoyed the ideas very much, though I don't remember much of the actual writing.

I found it very pneumatic and most queer.

Anyone with a brain realises there's nothing wrong with it. Moral fags and individualist fags might though but they have a slippery grasp on reality.

It's alright, I guess.

Well, first I think we don't really need a thread about it every day.
Second, it has an interesting idea but terrible execution. The first two chapters is all you need.
