How? The structure is interesting enough alone to read it.

How far into are you? Granted first complete of pages are dull and it is aimless wandering but once you near the end of Mexicans Lost in Mexico you'll be hooked.

Not OP, I was very into the first part where the young dropout enters the world of avant-garde writers.

But the second part, the interminably long part where they wander around Europe and Latin America acting like douche-bags, sleeping on couches doing nothing, was such trash, especially after the enjoyable 2666

I enjoyed 2666, but the book is seriously:
>part 1: Academics fuck and are conflicted about their feeling, vol. 234
>part 2: This magical realism thing is cool, I should insert some spooky is-he-mad-or-is-it-real fragment into my book
>part 3: Literally True Detective season 2
>part 4: List of ships is pretty good, how about dead women instead of ships and make it ten times longer. Also, every piece of critique about this part will be refuted with "that's the point", good luck
>part 5: Europe Central 2: now with even more obvious themes!

I didn't care for it myself. I'm mostly into 19th century classics, but I love the occasional 'postmodernist tome' like The Recognitions or Sot-Weed Factor and this just did nothing for me.

I didn't care for a single character and its narrative seemed to be a long winded and over elaborate 'On The Road'.
