pynchon is a meme author, he has no discernible talent. clearly a juvenile author.

this isn't going to be a meme

desperate self bumb

I'm more like 6-5, but I spend some time reading for an hour or two most nights before bed and in the morning for about 30 minutes before work a couple days a week. I also read a lot on the weekends.

I dunno what to say about not being too tired to read after work. I usually nap for about an hour after work before dinner, so I guess that helps.

I read about 10 pages a day while taking my lengthy dump. I almost never read fiction anymore. My favorite book is the novelization of Gex released in the late 90's.

Also, your book is mediocre, and you're trying too hard to impress others with it. No one actually enjoys that snoozefest.

I study English and am required to read about 300-400 pages of varying material a week. The problem is that I am real fucking lazy and cannot focus when I read. So I procrastinate and read everything I'm supposed to the day before my classes begin. O

It's actually pretty enjoyable with the bloat trimmed.

third bump. I'm interested since I wasn't here for "Tundra".

with my penis

I created a specialized headband with a mechanical arm that grasps the book and dangles it in front of ny face so I can read and still have my hands free to fap or do other tasks.

Can't read. Too much caps. Caps make me cringe.

I have the book but never got to read it. I did see the movie so I'll give a summery from that.

Teen boy (Craig, 16) has depression and almost tried to jump a bridge but realises he is too pussy to An Hero and checks into the hospital mental-health clinic and stays for a week. Meets a guy named Bobby becomes his mentor/guy buddie meets a girl Noelle who he starts to "like" even though he already has a batshit crazy GF. In the end he is released and him and Noelle goes on a date and it ends. Craig is happier so THE END. Also Bobby & Noelle attempted suicide once so thats mostly why they quickly bond w/ Craig. 6/10 It's okey if you like depression stuff.

Also the movie cast is pretty decent IMO.

typical whiny YA bullshit, but the movie had zack galifiankis in it which was cool.

my mom rented the movie and i watched it with her. it was shit nd the director (or was it writer?) killed himself which is kind of a funny story itself considering the whole thing is about how much there is to live for

basically a generic piece of shit wish fulfillment romance tho. young angsty boy nobody understands meets cute quirky girl who shows him life. pathetic cuck shit breeding a generation of beta males.

Don't read them

This whole thing about IJ being chock full of footnotes is absolute bullshit and is a lie perpetuated by /lit/ trolls. Just flip through the book and you'll see that it has no more footnotes than an average university textbook.
