read it twice
it gets worse the more you read it

I can't find a hardcopy.

because I'm still reading Arbasino's 1400 page tome

Don't feel like I'm ready for it

>>9206196
Im still working through the classics.

>>9206196
It was uninteresting and poorly written. The author seems to have some unresolved mental issues.

>>9206271
Funfact: he resolved them

He can't think, can't write, and has no discernible talent.

>>9206254
It was my first /lit/ book. Jump in, my man

That's a fair assessment, but he seems to have put a lot of effort into it, if you are into that sort of thing.

It wasn't translated to my language and I do not intend reading a 1000 page long meme in English, which would take me lots of time.

Kek, this

>>9206293
Yeah I don't like Lovecraft either

nearly finished OP. I've laughed and cried along the way, it's been a journey.

I haven't even read the Greeks yet and /lit/ told me that it's impossible to understand post-modern books if you haven't read the entire western cannon.

I want to read it this year but I'm not looking forward to it. I hear the pacing is meandering and I'm not particularly keen on DFW's fondness for footnotes. I feel it ruins the rhythm of reading a novel.

lies. if you want to read something just read it. if you don't understand it that's fine, you can always re-read or find articles/essays/reports on it online.

>book literally acknowledges it's a really long meme
>people still read it anyways
you'll never jape me into wasting 50 hours of my life on that garbage

but it genuinely is a very readable, funny book. Saying it's a meandering incomprehensible tome is a lie.

because I listened to 10 hours of the audio book and it's a slice of life about some youths tennis tournament as far as I could be arsed to pay attention enough to tell
