How many chapters does one have to read before one can drop a book?

shut up loser

You should at least get to the point where Kafka dropped it

You can drop it, just realize that whenever it comes up in conversation, you will have to explain that you could not get further than about 50 pages into a sub 200-page book that is often taught in highschool.

haha right, it's not a lot of time invested.

You could. I'd call you a fucking plebeian as would anyone else after you tell them you were bored by one of the most entertaining books of the last 100 years.

You can skip the 4. Chapter. The 5. Is really short and fun. 6 is important for the plot. 7 is interesting but you can skip that aswell. 8 is also really good and not that much since it isn't even finished. 9 is also important and then you read the ending.
My substitute teacher also dropped Trial but really enjoyed the Castle, so maybe try that; and the short stories are his best works so give them a try too.

kill

youtself

The Trial is hilarious, what's wrong with you?

Within the first 50 pages Leni compliments Josef's eyes and he just stands up and goes "Fucking degenerates everywhere." The first chapter he's getting arrested and he's worried about getting breakfast. He's a stupid dumb asshole and you're reading it wrong.

man I'm 330 pages into angle of repose and I want to shoot myself. but I've had books redeem themselves from the ending alone. so I soldier on.
