Why do you say that?
>>
Books I've dropped recently
- The Road, 40 pages in
- Slaughterhouse Five, 20 pages in

Book I'm enjoying right now is The Trial, by Kafka.

I don't blame you for dropping Slaughterhouse-Five, but you could have finished that in like an hour
>>
>>7500570
>215 pages
>an hour
Do you people really read this fast?

And the subject matter was just dead boring to me, even though I'm German. Before I'd force myself through books because "they are classics and everyone likes them" but I realized I have nothing to gain by doing that and should just skip to the books I actually enjoy.

Who is this trouser arouser

Fair point.

My copy had a little over 100 pages, and the prose is very very simple. Maybe an hour was an exaggeration but I definitely remember reading it in two or three.
>>
Recently finished A Scanner Darkly, easily one of my favorite sci-fi books

OP here. Couldn't stand The Road either.
