Has anyone here read "Ready Player One"? I really think Joe Rogan would enjoy it. With the VR plot and how smartly written it is, it really seems up Joe Rogan's alley. I mean, even before it was published, Warner Bros bought the rights to make it a movie, and Spielberg is directing it. Has anyone here read it?

I'm glad I'll never read it a second time.

I've read like 1/4 of it and i can't stop cringing. Haven't picked it back up in 6th months.

That's great!

I read it. It was neatly plotted etc but it was cringey as fuck. Almost like a parody or something. It's reddit in literary form.

If you view it as a satircal critic on pop-culture obsession in the last few decades, it's great.
Unfortunately it is sincere.

I have never hated a book as much as this. Fucking terrible 1 dimensional characters propped up by a plot loosley cobled together by refrences to the 80s.

I came to /lit/ to write a bait thread like this, but you've done it better than I ever could. The Joe Rogan name-drop, the presentation of an adaptation as a positive, the repetition of the question, the cringeworthy adverbs — they're all masterful touches. Truly, (you) have earned all the replies this is sure to garner.
