somehow the two most cringe posts i've read this week are in the same thread. how the fuck are you going to judge a book based on hearsay and passages you can't even begin to understand without having any of the context

To be fair, with context it's not any better

Thanks I am not reading a 1000+ pages book just to make sure that those awful first pages I read are indicative of the book's quality. One of the only books I dropped purely because the prose was so bad it made it unreadable. I usually don't care about stuff like this, but man, it was so fucking cringe.

What do you do for a living? I imagine not much if you think IJ is a good use of anyone's time.

>> No.16294005

>>16293705
IJ is academically recognised, you might not like or be interested in the book but it is a good book. If you were well read/educated enough you would know this fella but here you are trashing a dead guy on 4chan, if you don't like the book shut up about it and stop introducing yourself in DFW threads just to be a smug prick.
