>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 05:20:32 2010 No.903034 >>903032 op here yeah, you see, i've been in rehab and psyche wards and all that shit. i've lived the NA meetings. he definitely hits the nail on the head numerous times but it's nothing special to me. does that justify my dislike, or is there more?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 05:21:32 2010 No.903035 I like Catch-22

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 05:49:32 2010 No.903091 >>903067 Please do, Infinite Jest is truly a waste of time. You could have read a guide to Ulysses in the same amount of time it took to get into that junk.

>>	Croaker !!DDgOIlOdqYI Mon Jul 12 05:50:32 2010 No.903093 I'm just impressed you made it that far OP. I recently tackled Underworld and caved in and quit after about 350 pages.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 05:53:32 2010 No.903097 >>903091 Ulysses needs a guide :x?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 05:54:32 2010 No.903099 >>903097 It's generally more enjoyable if you read a guide first, yes.

Anonymous Mon Jul 12 05:57:32 2010 No.903104

what are you guys, retarded?

Not arguing about artistic value here, but come on.
Infinite Jest is not hard to READ at all.
As is Underworld.

You seem like you believed all the hype about how great, complex and difficult those things are.

In the end I hope you quit because it could not keep you interested, not because it was too hard or too long.

Now, what that says about you and the people crying out how fantastic those books are is a different matter.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 05:59:32 2010 No.903110 >>903104 op here yes, i agree with you, it's not a hard book at all. that is perhaps the reason why i didnt quit sooner.

>>	Croaker !!DDgOIlOdqYI Mon Jul 12 06:01:32 2010 No.903112 >>903104 I never claimed Underworld is hard - it's just soulless and damn boring. I kept thinking something might develop and in 350 pages it didn't. I don't feel an obligation after that long to keep hanging around.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 06:09:32 2010 No.903129 >>903104 No one said it's hard to read, just annoying and not worth the time.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 06:10:32 2010 No.903130 hay im reading this book, and I really like it

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 06:29:32 2010 No.903168 Finfag here, been reading for almost two months and on page 190 because it's so fucking hard to understand. I can read one page of this book in about two minutes. Shitsucks.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 18:35:32 2010 No.905067 >>903130 yeah i thought that too

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 12 19:55:32 2010 No.905402 Everything post-modern is shit. This included.
