I'm about 250 pages in and the plot is only just materializing but it's very good so far. People have meme'd forever about the endnotes, but what no one warns you about is all the acronyms and abbreviations, of which there are dozens and many of which you have to figure out yourself.

im about two hundred pages ahead of you. i felt the same way.

It bogs down at times, but it's better than anything Joyce did. Just skip a page or two when you are bored, and it's ezpz.

Funny. There's a movie in the book called "The Joke" that's hostile to its audience.

It's a great parable for the book itself.

As someone who is not American, will I get much out of this?

Mildred Bonk, weird Asian-American characters, and Quebecois.

Dropped it at ~300 pages. I'll get back to it some time. It's been like 2 years.

yeah. its been a while since i read it but the only thing that seemed distinctly "american" to me was the subsidized calendar and johnny gentle. but now we have trump so that should make the point pretty clear
