/lit/ - Literature

/lit/ noob here, both in terms of the board and literature as a whole. Nearly finished this, and I just know that this book has got to be a big fat meme on this board, but I'm genuinely curious what you all think of it. I'm thoroughly enjoying it, to the point where I'd probably call it my favorite book, but considering how few of the agreed-upon classics I've read that's not a hard position to reach. Even after just a cursory first reading I get the impression that all the typography and formatting gimmicks might be more surface-level than the author wants you to think, which makes me feel as though it might not be the kind of work that ages well. It's not as though /lit/ telling me it's shit is going to make me stop enjoying it, but I'm curious if the real enthusiasts feel as though it has any substance or if it's the kind of thing you outgrow after immersing yourself in the canon a bit more.

Also just talk about the book I guess.

What other books are like the jumbled writing of a crazy and / or sad person?
