Really? I've read this book three times, seems like every time I pick it up I spend the next few days going through it again.
James Rodriguez
agreed
Ryder Myers
me too, i stopped almost halfway through about two weeks ago, read some other stuff instead
Jack Lewis
All very textural books. Good for reading in pieces
Joshua Sullivan
This whole _stream of consciousness_ thing is nice and all, but it gets very boring not knowing what's happening in each paragraph.
Gabriel Rivera
i've never read this, is it just pale fire for plebs?
Xavier Allen
Crying of Lot 49.
pynchon strikes me as too self indulgent.
Thomas Morris
Is this also your only book?
Robert Roberts
really didn't care for the 2nd half of V. and really had to force myself to finish it
Gabriel Harris
>stream of consciousness
is it that though? Stephen is the main character experiencing, but he isn't the narrator.
(I just speedread through such stuff until I come to a passage that makes sense in regard of the books storytelling at which point I carry the same load of flimsy impressions as the narrator which is nice.)
Jeremiah Ward
lends itself only to very long reading sessions imo. It's a good book for a transatlantic flight. Once you get into it, it's good, but you gotta spend 45 minutes warming up to it.
Zachary Long
I gave up with less than 100 pages to go.
Julian Reyes
The Tunnel. I gave it ~350 pages and just gave up. It’s wonderful writing and there are some genuinely interesting parts but so much of it is just boring with no payoff.
Carter Rogers
having trouble with actual cancer
Elijah Powell
Justin Gonzalez
you take that back it's one of the best books I ever read

Chapter III is the best 30 odd pages I've ever read. Chapter IV is god tier as well and I and II are great too, V had its moments but the bits where it got too specific to Ireland were skimworthy
Christian Fisher
I'm entirely alone with this opinion.
Jace Carter
no, you are not
Jonathan Miller
I don't usually post my opinion but I have to disagree "the road" was one of the most boring books I have ever read. Tell me how you found it so good ?
Juan Bennett
I liked all the action and it was a breeze to read
Jackson Reed
Im prob gonna get bashed for this.
I'm not even one to drop books I always have a subconscious urge to pull through. But this I coudent get through, I read American Psych which is somewhat the modern version of this in terms of rich people fancying rich things for many pages and it was way worse in terms of that. I just think the whole "picture turning ugly" thing was uninteresting and not focused on enough. Even the main character seemed uninterested and more so glad about it as a whole. I stopped about half way through(80-130?), idk maybe it gets more interesting but I just couldnt enjoy reading it at all.
Chase Thomas
sounds like you should get into YA user
Mason Campbell
You could read this in two hours, how did you not get through it?
Michael Lopez
This is my favorite book. I read it in less than a week.
Jaxson Hall
kek
Josiah Jackson
came to post this one. holy shit it just keeps going and going but goes nowhere
John Kelly
This but for Children of Dune only
Logan Bailey
Literally every book I've read, even my favorites.
Zachary Cruz
Sorry Gene, RIP, but I just couldn't
Jace Hill
I unironically read this when I was 12 and got through it in a day, I don’t know what my parents were doing letting me read it thinking back on it
