>the book was really boring 100 pages in but it was definitely worth finishing

When has this ever happened? It has never happened in my experience.

A lot of russian lit has 100+ page expositions tbqh senpai

Post reading remorse.

"It was shit but it was worth it, otherwise I have wasted my time haha"

Infinite Jest takes like 300 pages to get going.

I think some of the best chapters are near the start desu, at least my favourites.

>Dat first chapter, "I am surrounded by heads and bodies" ...
>The professional conversationalist chapter
>Mario with the USS Militant Kent (or whatever her name was)
>Mario hearing the PGOAT on the radio

I didn't really enjoy reading lord of the flies until satan pig. I probably think about the book once a week

I find dfw akward to read and i always need a period of adjustment

Novels are so dumb. Literally the worst kind of literature

how dumb are you?

hahahahahahaha

Nostromo, the first 40% of the book is pure exposition and worldbuilding. After page 150-170 things pick up and is a really enjoyable read till the end.

So yeah, it has happened.

I'm not a native speaker and it was one of the first few books i'd read when I was young that wasn't harry potter. It's a very good book.

Pride and prejudice
Lolita

>I am surrounded by heads and bodies
Is this considered to be a good line?

This

Crime and Punishment was boring as shit the first 200 pages.

Not at all. If anything, it got boring between pages 300-400, and picked up again after 400.

Notes from Underground. Didn't connect with it until the second book.

Doctor Zhivago was this for me tbqh famalam, now it's in my top 5.

Nah

>I can do it!
>I can't do it!
>hear that she won't be there
>I can do it!
>*does it*
>drops spaghetti

Only Marmeladow was somewhat interesting. The rest is just some edgy teen discovering that he is a faggot.

If there wasn't the prostitute and the pedophile I would hate this book.

In context it's truly apt.
