Ok so when does he start the story?

>> No.8715807

at like 200-300 you get something resembling coherent narratives.

Are you two idiots? The first chapter has a easily understandable narraitve, its not exactly the fucking Unnamable

True, but in their defense, IJ in general can be a bit tricky the first time.

its an easily understandable narrative for which you are given no context to put it in (who the characters are, when is it taking place, etc), and then it cuts to other easily understandable narratives for which you are given no context to put it in.

I'm at page ~50. The chapter about the anxious guy waiting for weed completely blew my mind. I hope more chapters will be written like that one.

I don't really understand the way all the chapters are connected but I don't care, it's just so good. I will take a long time to read it but it will be worth it.

I have a feeling you'll enjoy IJ if you got such an immediate satisfaction with the intro

Thats gonna motivate me to give IJ another try

>>8716156
Without giving too much away, the first 200 pages enter a bunch of minor characters, the middle chunk is the narrative, with the minors popping up in interesring ways, and the final chunk is where the minor characters exit. Keep the people from these chapters in mind, they all show up later in one way or another.

Late on, involves a MILF dressed as a cheerleader with what I interpreted as an incest fetish [JW is dressed like Orin right?]

I can't believe I bought this meme book. One of the worst ones I've read this year.

Thanks. It seems quite frustrating, but I guess that's the point.

I know the word is completely overused but it's so apt in this instance. IJ is a meme

holy fuck I'm a retard for not getting this

For me, I started to get a sense of the world by around 200-250, but I spent a long time (months) starting and stopping to get there. It wasn't until after 400-500, when the background of the new governments was set into place via Mario's I. Day Eve movie -- and surrounding events -- that I couldn't put it down.
