I didn't really enjoy reading lord of the flies until satan pig. I probably think about the book once a week

>>9084208
I find dfw akward to read and i always need a period of adjustment

Novels are so dumb. Literally the worst kind of literature

>>9084217
how dumb are you?

>>9084217

Nostromo, the first 40% of the book is pure exposition and worldbuilding. After page 150-170 things pick up and is a really enjoyable read till the end.

So yeah, it has happened.

I'm not a native speaker and it was one of the first few books i'd read when I was young that wasn't harry potter. It's a very good book.

Crime and Punishment was boring as shit the first 200 pages.

>>9085856
Not at all. If anything, it got boring between pages 300-400, and picked up again after 400.

>>9084011
Notes from Underground. Didn't connect with it until the second book.

>>9084011

Only Marmeladow was somewhat interesting. The rest is just some edgy teen discovering that he is a faggot.

If there wasn't the prostitute and the pedophile I would hate this book.

In context it's truly apt.
