Candide by Voltaire

1.0

Well... I can now say I've read a book by Voltaire.

Would I read it again? No

Would I recommend it? Nope

I know it's a classic, and I'm sure there is some deep message that I missed, besides just the pointlessness of life. But it really felt so ridiculous and over the top to be down-right annoying. Not to mention the myriad racist tropes all throughout. 

I'm glad it was a short book, and that it's over.
