The repetitive 90's party/hookup shit got really old really fast, I didn't really buy the overall gimmick. It eould have been better as a short story about a house thst grew, everything eles felt unnecessary.
That said I did like the letters from the mother to the son.

I can't find it anywhere in bookstores or libraries in my country. One e-shop has it but it has to be some limited rare edition because they are asking a shitload of cash for it :(
I also heard e-book is not good. Is there a scan or something out there?

Why don't you just read the entire Bible and find out yourself OP?
Either which way you look at it, its impossible to deny that the Holy Bible is basically one of the most major pieces of literature in not only the England language, but all of Europe.

no read the god delusion
For literary merit it is also the differences in the new testament books that makes any closer readers able to draw out a personal Jesus. That in itself is quite interesting.
Whats up with all the references to david foster wallace in Hypersphere (reading his book "a supposedly fun thing ill never do again" pretty good tbqh senpai).
Also pic related its the best book of 2016, 2017 and every year before or after its conception.

Nice thumbnail.
Also it is funny.
Maybe even enjoyable.
Calling it even the greatest book of the month it came out is a laugh though.

I'vebeen reading the james Joyce and I find his work finnegans wake very enjoyaable, i've also read the ezra pound and the cantos are very neat plus the archaisms, il ike those a lot. man I love literature vubt I never find places to disgust it, is this the rigt board? it says literature but it is also fulled with anime pictures and homer simpson and silly faces so im not sure are we talkers of ezra pound in there?

I want to read Infinite Jest. The thing is, I get the impression (from both the foreword and general opinion) that I am not knowledgeable or skilled enough when it comes to understanding literature in general (in other words, I'm an uncultured bozo).
After a brief high school period where I read YA lit voraciously, I nearly put off reading completely. I don't think I've ever read something in it's entirety more complex than Camus.

Every critique is welcome. Also Critique Thread in Spanish.
Vaya tÃo.
Anon, te seré honesto, sólo leà el primer párrafo. Entonces, mi crÃtica va en función del estilo y no de la anécdota.
Me parece que eres innecesariamente descriptivo, creo que el texto serÃa más atractivo si las imágenes se dibujaran sin tanto parloteo. O bien, que el estilo fuese de la mano con la anécdota, pero bueno, eso no lo sé puesto que no lo leà completo.

Por que tiene el muchacho una remera tan informal si esta en el teatro?
Igual me gusta tu forma de escribir. No tengo mucho tiempo ahora pero lo voy a leer entero mas tarde
