Absalom, Absalom is one of the few things where I will maintain if you don't appreciate it, you must not have understood it

Not much.

Its interesting, but more for the history of it than any literary significance.

Greek literature is all just
>Hey don't fuck up with the gods or they'll mess you up

or
>Hey this guys going on an adventure lets hope he doesnt mess with the gods they'll mess him up.

I read the first few chapters and realized I'd be much better off reading the original Odyssey. So I did.

I read it a couple of years ago and liked it so I re-read it the year after.
It's well written and witty. Descriptions are awesome.

Don't care much about all the Homer references though, that would make for some boring reading.

This is almost the only pretentious modernist literature that I thought was actually enjoyable to read through and through, though I haven't tried much.
I read the Librivox audiobook last Bloomsday.

i really enjoyed Beckett.

Really genuinely.
Like I'd always known who I was but till I read Beckett I understood myself differently
