The ultimate question, will reading this book add in the slightest in a meaningful way to my life? Would I be much better served by reading something else or should I continue sticking it out.
Sure. He's a talented writer writing about a complicated time (Cold War). What's the worst it could do?
That said, I've only read Libra and White Noise. I enjoyed both immensely. Learned more from the former than the latter, tho.

Idk I haven't read it that's just what a nigga heard ya dig
DeLillo is a typical boomer cuck: worships blacks, idolizes jews like Lenny Bruce, and he has in turn received good goy points and heavy promotion by the jewish literary/publishing establishment that believes it has carte blanche to direct white cultural endeavors in its interests. Underworld isn't a very good book, but it is the prototype of what jews want 100+ IQ goyim to spend their time reading.

No, white noise was not good

read the first chapter and move on. everything after is a complete disappointment with overwrought prose. see:

Wow that's a lot of buzzwords. When's the last time you had an original thought?

But he's one of Bloom's 4 best current writers. Did I get memed? Is all postmodern /lit/ designed to destroy my people?
I hate to be a part of the echo chamber, aside from the idiot post about jews, but Delillo just isn't that good. There are so many better door stoppers, I mean, it's definitely better than Infinite Jest but that doesn't mean anything. Mao II was a decent book but he's kind of America's Murakami.

Are you really quoting that article? I keep going back to it again and again from time to time just to make myself feel better than that pleb and his shit argument.
