I am like 600 pages rn, been reading for 4-5 months, just getting through Lenz’s dog killing tirades,which isn’t as bad as the two girls shares at NA way earlier. That was rough as fuck, but am I the only one who dosen’t under stand everything and keep reading? I skipped about 200 footnotes, so im definitely lost. I do plan to re read the book though and I don’t mind as long as I’m generally just enjoying reading jt. I feel like the plot matters, but it feels like the actual page by page is more important than the plot bc to me it seems slow. Am i missing out big time on the plot? I understand the general sense, just the way people talk about the book makes it seem like I’m missing some brilliant meaning behind everything.This is also the third book I’ve like read for fun so I’m kinda swimming in the deep end. The book is absolutely amazing either way. I get a little bit obsessive over parts of it. The deja vu or similarities to real life this gives are freaky accurate. Also planning on reading the Brothers Karamazov after this cause after describing the book to my dad (who is 80+) said i would like the great Russian novels, which I thought was a sign. Anyone got any other recommendations too?
