Yes, a brain.

Oh okay, thanks. You're probably right

Holy...I want more. Are /lit/'s replies always this witty?

Which is?

Finish the book

You probably just don't have the attention span for it, sadly.

the dialouge is part of the package. you'll see the characters struggling with trying to figure out what is worth doing and the "tediousness" of the book will also make you question that in the end. it also creates a depth and engages you as a reader as you begin to fill blanks to the other sides of conversations to the point where you become part of the work.

Telling people you read a difficult book so you can pretend to be smarter than them.

Broken, half-formed dialogue is how people actually speak.

Lrn to listen in real life.

there's actually a ton to get out of this book including the obvious satire of young boy following his role models and building a conglomerate that strips the pension funds of softball playing workers. there's critique on school system. the school/financial intertwinment, the policing of what can be said (censoring bast thoughts on mozart), and the one size fits all closed circuit programs for the children. then there the thought about art and you see some of the ideas of walter benjamin throughout. sci fi ish ideas including freezing noise and disposing of it elsewhere and dan being lost while being immaterialized and sent thru wires. pretty jam packed with cool stuff.
