I don't get it. Why is this considered such a great novel again?

this desu

ehm

Just got this

What am I in for?

Is this book difficult? I certainly think it is, but I want to know what real readers think. I feel like my reading level must be pretty low, because I can read at most like 15 pages of this thing a day; and I worked my way up from only reading a couple pages and putting it down for a while. I'm on a fast track to finishing it within the next week right now, because I'm getting faster. I don't really consider myself the same level of person as most of the people on this board, so whether or not I find it difficult doesn't really count.

Was it autism?

>Hunger by Knut Hamsun
It's pretty good, I find the main character interesting. He reminds me of someone out of a Dostoevsky novel.

I'm not really enjoying reading this.

maybe hunger by knut hamsun?

Also this

What are other books similar in tone to Hamsun's earlier books, like pic related and Mysteries?

Just finished this, and it was nothing special. Is Growth of the Soil better?

some thoughts on Hunger by Knut Hamsun? What should I expect?

alright, you faggots convinced me to read this. is it gonna just be "lol I'm so hungry" the whole time?
