>National Bestseller
Of course not. It's the 10th anniversary edition. (It's also the 10th printing of that edition, if you were wondering) Interesting comparison of the two covers: for the first edition, DAVID FOSTER WALLACE is more clearly visible than INFINITE JEST, suggesting his name is the selling point, while by 2006 the selling point was clearly INFINITE JEST and Wallace's name is much smaller.

Just wrapping up part 3

>> No.14402112

Reading de Sade's Justine. Surprisingly good. I went to my library few days ago to ask whether they have anything by de Sade (it's a pretty small town library, I usually don't find what I'm looking for). They said that they did have his books, but they decided to throw them out. Pretty fucked up for a library. I had to go to another city to check with their library and lo and behold, they do have one of his books.

it's good. I hate to use a meme buzzword but its genuinely very comfy, it's a nice book to read through the winter (I just read the Christmas chapter too). Plot/action-wise, there's not a lot that necessarily "happens", mostly people walking around talking and being ill, but i find it very compelling and easy to read.

Its unbelievably well written. Uwe is always introducing new ways to express the flows of conversations and stories. The story itself is good, but I prefer the 1960s portion of the book to the 40s Germany. The book meanders and begins to lose its way a bit in book 3. The chapters start to get longer and really get into the minutiae of small town politics in Soviet occupied Mecklenburg

I'am like 20 pages in and i have no clue what's going on or what the point of the story is. It literally just feels like his vagely describing a bunch of dreams he had from memory. Also she seems to REALLY like cats for some reason.
