Overrated bullshit general

ITT we post books that are overrated bullshit.

Pic related. As high school-tier as any other book, but somehow gets praised heaped on it

The prose is sarcastic and juvenile. The humor is Abbott and Costello "who's on first?" bullshit that goes nowhere, repeated over and over again. The theme is literally something I would think is thought-provoking in ninth grade: "The, like, meaninglessness of war!"

Basically one of the most adolescent books that has ever been considered a classic.

Is this a new meme?

the book is basically a reddit meme

The Greeks are absolutely overrated and continue to perpetuate misconceptions about the world.

>The, like, meaninglessness of war!
How do you get that as the only theme? What about all the Kafkaesque stuff?

You're not even trying now.

i'd love to see the mature adult things that you read

I'm a hundred pages in and it's given me some chuckles but does an actual plot ever emerge?
