What did you think of it Veeky Forums

try reading a book, attention-spanlet
Nathan Ward
It's a work that only grows more disturbingly relevant as the 21st century continues. One of DFW's finest hours. Ending kinda makes me wanna cry
Daniel Sanchez
Can I get a spoiler? What's it about? How does it end? I'm more than likely never going to read it but I've heard this sentiment from others.
Ryder Wright
Come on man it's literally a short story
Parker Torres
Just read it, man. Your attention span will be grateful
Jace Garcia
don't bother DFW is trash.
Lucas Campbell
Read it. It’s about communications, fraudulence, and suicide (not a spoiler). It’s the one DFW I push if someone asks about him.

30 mins of my life i'll never get back, but hey it was alright if you are pretty milquetoast on the topic of existentialist crisis and finding meaning in life >Brah, we are like, different things to different people and we can never find true expression of our thoughts and feelings with others because of the limitations of our abilities to communicate/perceive ourselves and other >Ultimately life is meaningless when you do nothing but watch TV, try to fuck other people, and engage in shallow consumerism/hedonism

>Defending solipsism >Muh consumerism >Fuck other people who tell me that engaging in intellectualized hedonism is the reason I feel disconnected Yeah yeah, keep pretending like your mental state is innate to mankind and not self inflicted by your retarded idealogies.
Humanism is retarded, egalitarianism is retarded, athiesm is retarded, stay miserable if you want or have the balls to become more than peasant.

The second opinion in your example is a very true remark, especially considering DFW offed himself.
