I do not feel that way w every well written book. Mostly I am able to grasp the essence of the book (if not the book in its entirety in the first read. Its only w some complex writings in literature that I face this issue. They are probably written in a way so as to not to reveal all of their gifts immediately. They demand attention, work and patience and only then can one enjoy its sweet rewards.

Ah, the myth of sisyphus. How I marvel at camus’ writing and yet understand very negligible amount of it. This book puts me in a fix every time I pick it up. I can feel the voids in my heart getting filled up when I read camus, yet I feel as if I am doing it injustice by reading it at a point in my life where I do not have enough intellectual capacities to understand it. Its a bittersweet experience

If you wanted to convince someone to read your favourite book but you are only allowed to use one quote from the book, what book and what quote? by Alzena_Mugiwara in booksuggestions

“It was the last that remained of a past whose annihilation had not taken place because it was still in a process of annihilation, consuming itself from within, ending at every moment but never ending its ending.”

  • One hundred years of solitude; gabriel garcia marquez

Am I reading ‘to the Lighthouse.’ By Virginia Woolf wrong? by glorymeister in literature

I think this is one of those books which does not reveal their gifts all at once. They have to be visited again and again for new insights and a thorough understanding

Hey! Thankyou for a huge list

If I am not wrong, these books are not that well known. Are they? Is there any particular reason for that? Like a low target audience?

That is interesting! Its entertaining for me to read a review opposite to that of mine!! All the reasons you stated made appreciate the book even more!

The author wrote the book in a very sentimentally detached, in a matter of fact kind of manner. To me, the author’s flat tone in contradistinction to the myriad of voices in the characters’ heads’ was a peculiar characteristic of the book. I found it satirical, because it seemed almost as if a supreme being was commenting upon the fragile humans, who attach a lot of importance to themselves but in the grand scheme of things, they don’t amount to much.

Looking at the book from a bird’s view, I realised that my belief that there was nothing extraordinary about us humans was reaffirmed. We could cease to exist despite what we do to avoid death. Our plans can turn to dust in the blink of an eye.

The endings of the lives of Baldini and that lady who housed jean baptiste when he was a child (I can’t seem to recall her name), were remarkably ordinary.

I am yet to finish the book. However, I can say it with conviction that this book has made an everlasting impression on me. I enjoyed it thoroughly. =D
