I'm currently poorfagging it in a foreign country, the local library has a small English language section but it looks a little bit like pic related. Naturally the books they do have are a really weird hodge podge of classics and popular fiction. What have you read because of poverty, schooling, not having anyting better to hand, etc? How did you like it? I just picked up Kim which I may never have read but for a limited access to /lit/.

Way back in middle school I fucked up and got put in all day purma in school suspension until the kicked me out, so I read this book about a blind kid and a negro stranded on an island after a U-boat attack. They had them piled up in the room with me, but I never got to finish it.

Anybody have a clue as to what it might be?

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.

Had its moments but it's a very bad book full of flat, unbelievable characters.

Angels & Demons

Was the only thing in English in a book exchange at my hotel. Trashy but I quite enjoyed it to be honest.

Had to read "As I Lay Dying" in highschool.
Fucking wretched.
Meaningless themes and the deliberate lack of proper spelling and grammar is 3rd grade level artsy shit that thinks it's cool because it breaks a rule and does something different.
The book is a mess and doesn't say anything you'll think about after you're done.

I read Infinite Jest just so that I could fit in on /lit/. You have to understand, this was January of 2016. Every other post was a DFW post. I really didn't have a choice.

Well I had to read Frankenstein in school and it was really good.

All other books I've had to read in school have been utter garbage though, but most of them were YA novels about teenage love, meaning they really didn't appeal to me.

I read it a few years ago and felt exactly the same way. 'My mother is a horse' repeat ad nauseum, we get it he's a retard.
