>tfw read no books for over a month because I read one at a time and the brothers Karamazov is so fucking boring
>read less than 150 books in that time
Reading other people wank over how much philosophical / psychological insight this book has reminds me of what a pseudy exercise literature has become.
This book is horrifically boring. I can't bring myself to read and I'm only at about page 130 out of about 700.
Can someone explain what I'm supposed to get out of this? And if the insights are so profound, what are they? A third question: Is enjoyment ever supposed to be involved?
The cherry on top is that almost nobody would be praising this book if it was written today. And if it was written today and self published then nobody would read it and it would be mocked if it was read (>inb4 you dispute this). This shit would not happen in a medium / art form that wasn't close to death or dead. And I know I'll be mocked for using "enjoyment" (the E word) and that wouldn't happen with a healthy medium either.

You're too stupid to understand it, that's all. Go read something that you like.
Is this the work of a master baiter, or a shithead who moseyed into /lit/ somehow then decided to try out reading a foundational meme but "just didn't get it"? We'll never know, because either way nobody cares what you have to say.
