Why is he never discussed here? He's pretty good, senpai.
Too English, probably. History of the World in 10.5 Chapters was pretty great.

It was. Flaubert's Parrot, too.
His new book is coming out, so I was surprised no one mentioned it.

Because he's a shitty phrasemonger, this is why he's so liked by all the plebs. Go read some real literature.

>Look, mum, I've done it again! XD
>>7640080
Yeah. Kind of standard issue somewhat timeless minor novels though. I mean, he's always decent, he's very controlled, just sort of proficient and thoughtful.

I've only read the sense of an ending, but I loved every but of it. Both hilarious at the start and crushing emotionally throughout.
I can see how he's too English for Americans though, hence he's not talked about.
Sense of an Ending was boring, and I didn't get anything out of it. Only Barnes I've read. I don't want to read another of his works, frankly.
I have only read The Sense of an Ending and found it to be great. What other books by him to check out?

people are too weirded-out by his nose

You can hide his nose using your mouse cursor.
I would take a screenshot but the mouse cursor disappears.

John Green, Picoult, and YA in general. Have fun, my pleb friend.
