>>	Anonymous Mon May 30 11:56:48 2016 No.8101126 >>8101070 It's needlessly long and oddly structured book that you can use to convince the normies in your life that you're an intellectual. Hardly anyone here has actually read it from beginning to end.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 30 11:58:18 2016 No.8101129 >>8101126 Plenty of people have read it. It's a pretty breezy read. Nothing compared to the other books of the meme trilogy.
