I'm sure you would just Google the answer or ask your friends on Reddit for their opinion.

Not the same guy, and not that it fucking matters, but haven't we all learned that browser inspectors exist yet?

I'll put it on my ever-growing to-read list. Honestly, Lost in the Funhouse isn't my favorite. It's good enough to get through, there are a few really great revelatory moments, and I've heard tell of its literary importance, but overall it felt like work more than anything. I suspect that had a lot to do with not having much of a background in Greek mythology or literature. I'm also fairly new to getting myself into literature in general, and this one felt tackleable.

If there's a compelling reason to read Chimera right away then I'll look into it, but otherwise I think it'd be wise for me to take a break from barth and build up a fuller basis (i.e. some of the memes here and some other works I'm into but are rarely mentioned)

>style over substance

The Road is very likely a shitty novel, but this instrumentalist platitude is not why, that's a lazy cliche plebs think is valid criticism for works they don't/can't understand or appreciate.
