I started reading Gravity's Rainbow, and within the first 90 pages I've lost all desire to read anything.

Your reading-comprehension is not where it ought to be.

A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.
It is too late. The Evacuation still proceeds, but it’s all theatre. There are
no lights inside the cars. No light anywhere. Above him lift girders old as an
iron queen, and glass somewhere far above that would let the light of day
through. But it’s night. He’s afraid of the way the glass will fall—soon—it will
be a spectacle: the fall of a crystal palace. But coming down in total blackout,
without one glint of light, only great invisible crashing.

Awww datsa fat kitty ^_^
Because it's an extremely boring book that you are pressured to read and claim to enjoy and talk about its "profound insights". You now procrastinate reading it but also procrastinate reading anything else as well.
You will eventually tell yourself you can give up because it's been so long since you read it so you've forgotten too much to start reading from page 90 again. You will see the "xD pine cone is le so le random" posts on lit in a new light. Are they serious? Do they really think the book was funny? You smiled a few times but who would call the book hilarious? Was that guy who kept calling lit "pseuds" on to something?

Did you even finish it? Just curious, it's fine if you didn't like it.

I thought some parts were funny in the first 90 pages, like the special ink that is only visible after ejaculating onto it.
I'll try to sit down and read it for at least an hour tonight to try and get over the hump (something similar happened when I read V.)

If you've read Tommy, maybe you just don't like him.

It's a poor man's catch 22

Don't you ever insult Catch-22 like that again.
