Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

5.0

---

This is the best book I've read in a long time. Franzen is a master of style, and reading his work goes down smooth and easy. Franzen himself is a total misogynistic jerk, and it comes out in his writing at times, but he by far redeems himself by writing sheerly beautiful and nearly flawless work that looks into the dysfunction of modern society with refreshing clarity and meaning. We all have a little Walter in us, and I can say that I have more than less.
