Lanark: A Life in Four Books
by Alasdair Gray
I think that this book is incredibly interesting and important for Scottish literature in general and Glasgow in particular, but I just find it terribly exhausting. It's tedious to read, it's too long, I enjoyed bits and bobs, but not the entire thing. Yes, I know I'm being unjust, yes I know how influential and important and in parts incredibly funny "Lanark" is. Yes, I enjoy the meta level of it. But I still found it a chore to read and still think you could cut parts of it and make it a more enjoyable book. I know it's not meant to be entirely enjoyable, but still. This is a book that I'm sure tons of people DNF. And I can relate. 3 stars max
