fuck this book is annoying, I fucking get it. your kid is literally and angel. why do you need to an entire book to elaborate on this shit that you established in the first 5 minutes

is this one of those books that you have to be a father to understand? Why doesn't the dad just suck the kid off? Does he want him to die a virgin? did he teach him to clean under his foreskin?

Haha bruh that's hilarious, although fill me up on this : are you serious ?

I hate american literature and I see this posted quite often here so I naturaly think this might be above the rest. But if you could spare me the pain of going through another american book I would be glad

To be serious though, it's actually about Gnosticism. The fire is symbolic of the knowledge of human decency and acting in accordance to that is how, in the evil physical world, one gets to achieve gnosis through suffering and eventually dying

it's kitsch at best, read 50 pages for the descriptive prose and you'll have read the whole book

I wasted 8 hours and the most I got from it was I learned some new architecture vocabulary

"speedreaders" aren't real readers

subvocalization elmination is a gimmick

studies show that speedreaders have far lower comprehension and retention of the material than normal readers

Yeah, you're fucking retarded. The fact that you have no concept of what a 10k word essay looks like means you never went to college.

Hell, did you even go to high school?
