>give up on mason & Dixon and start reading problems of philosophy
>feel cleansed and have hope in the written word renewed after reading around half of it in first sitting
Oh, so THIS is what it's like reading someone who is utterly unpretentious and doesn't serve half baked shit while smugly safe in their knowledge that the critics and pseudointellectuals will automatically praise him due to marketing reasons! I haven't read something worthwhile in almost a fucking year.
It doesn't matter that it's non fiction. I really feel like cleansed is the right word after experiencing turgid shit for so long.
You did it dude you cracked the code. Publishers and academia BTFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>pynchon
>classic
so this is american education
I can feel the fun coming off Pynchon's fingertips as I read Mason and Dixon. I legitimately imagine him sitting there, head tilted back, yelling "ohhh I'm funning".
And classic? Nigga you off it.

I met T.R.P. several years ago and all he wanted to talk about was how the Japanese cartoon "Cowboy Bebop" was better than any novel it was possible to write. He was accumulating stacks of DVDs as he spoke, all cartoons. I asked him a complicated question about Pig Bodine and he punched me in the gut.
what kind of joyless pleb doesn't find son & xon fun?

You need to give it more than one shot, you lazy cat. Mason and Dixon is probably the best book you'll ever read, judging by your post.
