    A “good book”? Are you a teenager? I dropped it half way through on how boring it was… my issue with it is how overrated it is. Please let the right have it lol

      I agree, but it still is culturally significant, because it influenced so many boomers who found that it reinforced with the cultural narrative of the time.

      Calls someone a teenager, then proceeds to give the most teenager reason for dropping a book.

        People complain when I ask them to read like 1000 words of theory to understand a strain of thought that’s extremely historically significant and remains prominent in many countries around the world, but somehow it’s reasonable to expect someone to slog through 1000 pages of boring masturbatory bootlicking just to be allowed to say it sucks.
