Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

Super boring imo. Ironically I bought it the same time I bought Infinite Jest about a month ago and I have like 150 pages left in IJ and I don’t know if I’ll finish Androids. Feels super pulpy and not in a fun way.

Too many to name here 😂😂😂😂

Ulysses is the GOAT book

Finnegans Wake on the other hand, I feel like I need to unlock a second brain to understand that, will hopefully get around to finishing it someday

Currently giving a 2nd chance tho

nvm this startin to clickin too and I'm devouring it
might be 3/4 stars by the end. definitely worth a read.
2021 books taught me i need more patience.

Use this thread as a reminder that what you haven't finished might be what you were looking for if you keep grinding.

the grand inquisitor chapter... bruh what the f*** i just read

One of the dopest chapters in literature dostoyevsky left earth on that. there are whole books based on that chapter

read ulysses

Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappe's "On Palestine" and Erich Fromm's "Escape from Freedom".

I WILL finish these books this year. Told myself I won't buy anymore till I'm on the last page on these two.

Moby d***

Stopped at the first whale facts chapter and never picked it up again

me too lolll i couldnt get past the halfway mark re: Blood Meridian

The Luzhin Defense by Nabokov. I like chess and nabokov, but the book kinda dragged towards the middle. Might give it another shot at some time tho

At this point, might as well restart, though the only character that's caught my interest so far is the judge

oof I tried Pale Fire by Nabokov and was parts confused, parts bored as hell

I read Blood Meridian in a book club but idk if I would have finished that if I didn’t have the group motivator

I read this book about the band P**** Riot “words will break cement” but I was kind of expecting like a rockstar memoir and it was more about Russia politics so I didn’t have the right expectations for it. Kind of my fault though. Maybe I’ll go back to it one day.

Never finished Dorian Grey

Give another chance, pls.
It's one of my favourite books

2666

Bruh the first part is i heard it gets good after but i cant find the motivation to keep going

women by charles bukowski

read it halfway 2 times and haven't finished it

its somewhere in my crib

Bro.

This is one of my favorite books of all time.

I know it's a tough read, but I would put it down and come back to it later with a fresh mind, and really take the time to read.

The first part is boring but the meta-criticism makes a lot of sense when you really look at the lines and finish reading the book-- it also became one of my favorite parts of the book, and this is coming from someone who read the first 10 pages initially and dropped it in my backpack for a year collecting dust.

The Part About the Crimes and The Part About Spoiler are some of the most incredible chapters of literature I've ever read.

is it like a literary fiction type or genre

The Sun Also Rises

it is the most boring s*** I have ever read. I will never ever finish it.

Yes, literary fiction. It doesn't really encompass a genre, maybe mystery if you're really pushing it-- the concept of the book is very abstract.

this book can be frustrating at times but its absolutely worth it

there are sections of it i think ill never forget
