Well that was tedious. This book is a great example of the value of plot. Yes, there is a talent to being able to make wry observations about modern life chapter after chapter but eventually the reader would like for something to just happen and not have to discuss 21 other things before getting back to something that may be actually important. People argue that is the genius of the book but that doesn't make it easier to read.

This was the WEIRDEST book I’ve ever read and I loved every bit of it. I laughed out loud so many times. Huge fan.
Post modernism is wonky and I’m so glad that we decided to just acknowledge that in literature instead of romanticizing it

I've gotta say, this one irritated me. Especially the dialogue, which seemed weirdly and poorly constructed.
