How long did it take you guys to read Infinite Meme?
At least once I finish this book I can say that i've read it, and every other book will feel like a breeze.
Just put it on a prominent place on your bookshelf and claim that you've read it like everyone else here.

It's a chore to read. The long endnotes that also have footnotes get to me. Dude 2 bookmarks lmao

Just fucking do it quitter; people like you never finish shit, you always rationalize some way to disappoint yourself for a baser goal. Is reading books about fucking building a collection you can point at and tell your friends you read? If so; just lie and say you read it, and then devote the next three hours to sparknotes-ing the rest of the meme books so you can dance for /lit/.
Quitting in the middle is only acceptable in YA, fantasy and twilight

If you don't think the book is "complicated," (intricate might be a better word) then you're the one who's stupid.
I'm at page 9 and it's already kind of boring and tedious. I heard it starts to get good at around 250-300 pages.
It took me 2 or 3 months. Granted I was spread pretty thin in school during that time, and didn't have as much reading time ad I would have liked.

If you're bored by page 9 just quit right now. You will never, NEVER finish it.
It gets better around 250-300 pages, but there's no one paragraph/couple of pages where there's some big event that really makes you think, its basically just a couple of parts that finally give you some semblance of a plot.
