I dislike binning books, especially ones which I've gotten halfway through and have enjoyed at times. But when it becomes so pretentious, so "fart in a wineglass and smell it" kind of indulgent, I have to tap out.

I'm not trying for an english degree and nobody is impressed that you read meta-narratives in 2019 so why am I anxious over finishing this?

wanna see all the words I had to pause to look up so far? longueurs - oneiric (heard it before, needed clarification)- coterie - fustian - didacticism - picaresque (I should've known that one) - anent - puissant - cavil - winsome (I thought it meant lonely, but apparently not, it means appealing) - lubricity - cynosure.
you're welcome

any book that quotes The Third Policeman, includes De Selby's theory in passing, and satirizes "Pale Fire" AND includes a multi page list of fake books, authors and magazines is definitely something I'd be into
