It's certainly a better use of your time than reading 'Baby Alex' by Quentin Scobie.

no, "alt lit" was a forced meme by 2010 new yorkers and now it's done and embarrassing and the people involved would rather just forget about it and not be associated with its burnouts like megan and mira and tao "the elves did 9/11" lin

>only 300 pages
Are you kidding me, retard, do you just skip the pages to get to the ending? It is 10 HOURS of non-stop reading at best if you read really-really fast, most people can't find the time and desire to watch an average 1 hour long action movie and you propose instead to spend 10 hours reading something that you could find repulsive?

Bro. Read something that will challenge you and your perspective on life and what reality is. Don’t just read shit because other people on the internet do. If you’re not already somehow interested in that book, then don’t read it. You’ll waste your time boring your own self, which I’ll bet you are good at.

I found Taipei to be interesting in the beginning, but the theme and style got old reall quick. However, the book in my opinion picked up pace once the action shifts to Taiwan. I remember those parts rather vividly and enjoyed them a lot.
If nothing else, it‘s an interesting description of an interesting place. Though the first part in the US is dull at times, it‘s really not that long of a book and I recommend reading it!
