To the Anon who tried to tell me that this sucked, I'm sorry I didn't listen. I can't even believe that I slogged through all 300 pages of this, what a fucking snooze fest.

I didn't love it, but it has some good moments. I really liked the bits about the character devoted to writing the perfect opening sentence to his novel.

Really? Back in the day I used to give away all the DVDs of films I disliked, to my cousins. But I think it'd be stupid to do so with books.

First Man is the best Camus book, even better than the Stranger. Best example of bromance/teacher-student relationship

i think i read this for high school like 15 years ago. is this the one where one of the characters insists he will be a great novelist but he's just rewriting the first sentence of his first novel endlessly, and the sentence is something about an amazon riding a horse through a park...? because if so then i liked it.
