So, out of the new meme trilogy, I have read The Recognitions which I thought was about a 7/10, and 2666 was boring desu.
What's the consensus on Women and Men then, is it worth it or just another pretentious piece of garbage?

It's the worst of the three.

Really only notable for its length and being out of print, and that is it. You will NEVER hear anyone else say anything else factual about it.

Dang it, I was hoping for another fun ride like Gravity's Rainbow.
What's this about it being out of print? There's an epub around, right?

Might want to read a bit of the PDF before downloading and installing the ePub.

Yea its not printed anymore. Nobody reads it and the author went beta and said he hates it.

I've read parts. I don't think it commits any sins besides being longer than an okay novel should be.

Its rand type verbose autism.

Based on that review it seems really great. Would like to read that.
But I fear it would be so difficult read (and at the best so fucking slow, on other hand - this is not the worst thing for book like that after all), since English isn't my native language.

caved in and bought this for 40$. I really really love Mcelroy (read all his other shit)

Which facts about the novel would you like? Page number, who it was dedicated to, what the dust jacket says?
