hey brose
i really enjoyed pic related (no pleb) and was wondering if you guys liked it too.
had to read it for a class and at first i was like "fucking lady writers in muh canon" but really it was really good. it felt like a non-pretentious, more heartfelt DFW tbqhwyf.
it also (forgive my diction please) reads, like, 'accidentally politically.'
it made me empathize hxc with ethnic minorities but not in a forceful way. not "they're people too, white devil!" but just a story about a lot of lost people being lost.
literally felt myself growing as a person while i read this book. what /lit/ tink?

I remember watching and enjoying the miniseries when it aired on PBS a long time ago.

Has this meme gone the way of calling people 'fedora' where is has lost any meaning?

Talking about books you haven't read and making dumb jokes that aren't funny is /r/books material.

Some of the most charming prose I've read. To think this was her debut is pretty wild because it's written so well.
I enjoyed it even though I think it went on about 70 pages longer than it should have.
8.5/10.

White Teeth is a great book, one of the best novels written so far in the 21st century in my opinion. Ridiculous that she wrote it when she was only 25.
The first section is a little slow and some of the twists toward the end get a little silly but the middle ~300-400 pages is A+++ stuff.

bunch of Londoners scrambling around, really. it's not very focused on anything in particular, and if you reduce it to an overall theme it becomes a cliche. you should read it. it's like 450 pages but it goes fast.

this is shit. infinite jest is better.

It's shit. She was 25 when it came out and it shows. Sentimental pro-miscegnation garbage from an author who is so obviously a narcissist. Watch / listen to her recent college graduation speech and you'll know what I mean. She is the worst kind of self-promoter.

White Teeth isn't my kind of narrative at all, but it is pretty good
