Don't browse here often however I have heard that this isn't considered a good book
I'm half way through it and really enjoying the comedy that is strung through it as well as the dark bits as well
Wondering if you guys could enlighten me as to why this isn't good?
Also other books which have a similar type of comedy would be appriciated

It's a good book

Says who? That book's a classic and pretty much an icon in the academia and even for normal people. If that doesn't say anything then just shut up and enjoy. Don't feel guilty enjoying shit people don't like.

any picture that holds the great gatsby up as some paragon of literature is a troll image but great gatsby is good

It's no biggie. The majority of charts floating around here are either "ironic" or just obvious troll pics, so I wouldn't invest much hope into them.

Man if the guy just left out Lolita in shit tier he might have tricked a lot more people

The best part is having Atlas Shrugged still low, but not shit-tier. The rest of the chart could have been widely agreeable, but that alone would have caused rage.
