This was so, so much better than Infinite Jest.

Not really, but i went nuts in the end with his message and started to enter in a sort of trance of emotions

Es la misma perra pero revolcada. Las ediciones de Anagrama eran feas pero tenían su encanto. Las de Alfaguara/debolsillo/santillana/penguinrandomhouse son simplemente mediocres.

Nah, IJ is better, but it is not really worth comparing.

2666 would have been a complete failure if it had been released in 5 parts as he wanted.

last part is by far the best, starts a bit slow too

I'm like halfway through the first section and really bored. I don't care about the slut and the wheelchair guy and the two simps. When does it get good?

If you dropped it by those points, then I don’t think you would get a lot out of trying again. It’s not a book that suddenly “gets good” if you didn’t already like it in the first place.

>> No.16409699

>>16409444
Maybe The Fault in our Stars is more suitable for you

I have the 20th Anniversarry Edition of Infinite Jest; did they censor the word "nigger" with "niger?"

El contenido es el mismo, además la de Alfaguara viene con algunos manuscritos al final, no sé qué más querés. La calidad de la encuadernación no es la mejor, pero tampoco es tan terrible.

I can speak and write Spanish but have never read a Spanish language novel. Is this a bad first read?

It's a lot easier than reading Don Quixote in Spanish.
