gods i hate this book. the characters dont act like actual people. it's the most pretentious thing ive ever read and overall just incomprehensible. writing notes and comments in it with a pen while reading was the only way i could get through the book, and some of my own bored comments occasionally make me smile when i read it back, and they are the only reasons why i havent burned the book ritualistically.

and you know what? it actually has somewhat interesting commentary that would have been more interesting if it didnt feel like i was being lectured by an old person that had learned a couple new and hip buzz words on facebook and decided to add them to their vocabulary

unfortunately i was unlucky enough to actually have to read this book for a class and i actually had to STUDY the bloody thing and answer questions about it in an exam. curse this book for making me suffer.

i also remember a character looking at a pile of lemons and reminiscing about how they look like boobs. i dont have anything to say about that. i guess i just found that strange.
