...so he's post-Salinger with an ironic sense of humor? That's what you've been creaming your pants over?

>>	Anonymous Sun Jul 19 21:17:49 2020 No.15907634 >>15907457 The humor is not ironic, most of what people find humorous is terrible things happening to people. It is a fairly depressing book for anyone capable of empathy.

>>15907457
I've read this 6 times now. Actually disgusting how entertaining it is. Don Gately is my favorite character. I get satisfied every time I finish the book. Everything about is great. The plot is incredibly entertaining. The micro composition is relaxing. It's just an amazing book. Lit always trolls it, and I understand why. You fuckers always talk about books, never read them. Try to finish it. Please.
