Book(s) You Can't Finish

i finished it but that was on sufferance.
such an impressively hate filled book .

i never finished martin amis's Lionel Asbo .I knew that if i did i would never read another Amis book ever again.

PS: there is an free English translation linked on Wikipedia and it's way netter then the pic one.

if it makes you feel any better like half the people who love this book are women

nausea is a foundational, yet sometimes lofty didactic scope into sartre's philosophy. i remember feeling a similar way when i started it. push through at your own pace, i guarantee you'll find yourself piecing it together as you get further in.

my girlfriend was actually the one that got me into it.

youd think subject matters like this and perfume would turn women away, but theyre my gf's two favorite books. are women masochistic or something?

both good replies.

If you want to wrangle with Nietzsche, it's helpful to learn from the same texts he did so you have some kind of sequence, a sense of the logic that he is building on or diverting from. You have to understand that he studied 'duh greekz' and was familiar with term logic, so you need to be equally as familiar with these methods of thinking if you're going to read his literature. You have to realize he is making an argument. You have to know how to construct a formal argument before you expect to understand one that looks like prose, just from reading it once-through.

Probably my favourite book I ever read, but I haven't ever reread it, because I just sort of can't deal with the thought of going through it again. Watch the Kubrick adaptation after you've read it, it's a decent movie, not fantastic, but still good enough.

>got called sexist by a spanish teacher for telling that she (Madame Bovary) was a "loose woman".
I am glad she dies painfully.

Hahaha hahaha you sound like a redditor.
