19, only recently started reading outside of school so I am still reading mostly entry level classics, I'm really enjoying Dostoevsky. I can't really comment on other posts itt as I've only read a few of the books people posted.

Platypus police squad actually has good moral dilemas and an exemplary style of prose.

why didn't you point out which one was yours :'(
that's not much of a compliment because i'm starved for friendship and extremely unlikable
>nigga just bury the bitch in the back yard
lol

it definitely requires a certain type of reader to be engaging. i thought it was hard to get through on my first attempt but the second time i tried it, a few years later, i read voraciously. i would think even if you weren't that type of reader and didn't find yourself engaged, you would be able to think more of it than to think it "sucked." i know i didn't, hence my having picked it up again later.

Think of it like this: if you're 20, I've lived half again your whole life-span. It's no wonder conversations on here go nowhere. The frames of reference are too disjointed.

I appreciate that you appreciate it. A lot of literature I've enjoyed lately has been compared to Faulkner, so I likely went in expecting something way different. I found the writing style dull more than difficult, particularly the strategic repetition. I was also irritated by overdone blandness and "southernness" of the characters' personas and names. It reads like a caricature of the south, not a nuanced portrayal.

I read mostly because I think I'll hopefully find a girl with who I can discuss books. Nope, they're all just reading twilight, poopi kaur and other pseud trash.

if you can get them at least occasionaly maybe not but being deprived of that pleasure sure makes it seem that way

you're doing it wrong, user. If you read critically enough and you read Plato then you'll figure it out. You can find a bro to talk literature with, and even a girl who can hold her own in a conversation, but for now learn the literature.

It's been like one month and a half since I last read seriously tho. Had to stop reading "The Guermantes Way" due to a sudden depressive crisis that kept me from getting the peace of mind required.

Well time to catch up!
