[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Little Life. I put it down before page 50. I'm detention to read it some time in the future. I just hope my impression of the writing style is wrong (seemed really basic, and I'm no literati.)[/quote]
Is that a book that we “should love”, though???? That book is beyond gruesome and disturbing. [/quote]

That could be said about any book that you don't personally want to read or find not to your taste. There are plenty of difficult books that people love.[/quote]

I guess I just kind of equate it to someone being like, "well I know we are all supposed to just LOVE American Psycho, but personally I couldn't get through it".  American Psycho (and, IMO, A Little Life) are books that are truly shocking in their graphic and disturbing content.  I don't think of them as "books that we should love" the way some people are like "eh, I know everyone loves The Great Gatsby but I could never get over how unlikeable they all were".  That's different!![/quote]
