Good purchase nonetheless. It isn't a novel that you will read once in your life time but a good compilation of greentext that you can open at a random page and read a nice fragment.

Meme trilogy, and every book that starts becoming regularly talked about on lit I buy and read to not feel left out. It's pathetic I know. Followed lots of those book charts too.

This book. God it was tedious. Just one simile after another. No characters, no plot.

Bowles isn't for everyone. His follow up to The Sheltering Sky, Let it Come Down is even more depressing. I wish /lit/ discussed Bowles more, he's severely underrated

Likewise.
I was also memed into reading Lolita, and I regret that even less.

Gravity's Rainbow - 'twasn't bad
Kant's three Critiques - great investment
The Phenomenology of Spirit - probably the best philosophical work I've ever read
Fear and Trembling - made me want to unconditionally accept faith
Anti-Oedipus - entertaining to read, but full of bullshit.
