"Throughout the novel he rarely leaves his room or bed and just manages to move from his bed to a chair in the first 50 pages" - Read that on wikipedia and seems like my sort of thing.
Anyone read it? Worth the read?
I am reading it, hits too close to home.
For me it is more palpable than Stoner.
One of my favorite books of all time. Sometimes it really hurts to read (in the good way). Also the dream sequence is one of the funniest things I have ever read,

This. Although the dream sequence also hurts a bit because it's so nice.

Don't bother OP. It starts off great but then descends in to awful and boring romance shit.

Did you stop reading at that point? Because it sets up the last part which is great andheartbreaking.

The book is so-so. However, Oblomov's servant Zakhar really had me laughing my tits off often. Unrelentingly hilarious, every scene.
