Best prose I've read since Ulysses
>>7868661
For undergrads, sure.

I have never read this book and honestly want to know if you're being ironic

It's my absolute favorite. I think it's best described as a picaresque detective novel about the machinery of war and the psychology of subservience.

Do note, I am an undergrad, so he's probably right.
>>7868690
Im not but read the intro and see if it hooks you.

You're really going to say a book which is considered to be one of if not the best American novel past 1950 and absurdly complex great for undergrads?

>best American novel past 1950
Among college undergrads and on /lit/, sure.
For actually well-read people who know what they're talking about? Give me a break, kid.

We are all taking you very seriously, kid.

You'll know when you grow up a bit, undergrad sweetheart.
In the meantime, read more.
I'd recommend Mein Kampf to help you mature a bit and get a true perspective on the world

>best novels written after 1950
>not The Recognitions, JR, The Lime Twig, The Beetle Leg, Lost in the Funhouse, The Sot-Weed Factor, Women and Men, Omensetter's Luck, The Tunnel, Middle C, Mason & Dixon, Infinite Jest, The Pale King, or 2666
Yep, you're an undergrad.
>>7868902
i hope you are trolling with those examples
>>7868902
>posts a bunch of undergrad-core, especially DFuckingW
hope this is a joke
>>7868902
Bad bait. 2666 is by a Chilean author, you clown.

>that wordsworth crime and punishment on her shelf
>>7868891
You're really clever
>>7868891
shitty bait gets shittier

M&D is widely agreed to be better though
