No matter what anyone could say for (or against) that book, you as a reader should never feel forced to finish reading a book you started if you don’t enjoy it. Your time is too precious.

Books are not perishable goods, you can come back to any book you want in a few weeks, months, or many years. It will still be readable and happy to welcome you. Some of the books I consider my favorites nowadays, aged 50+, are books I could not get into as a teen or as a young adult and that is despite me trying over and over again to read them but then, one day, something happens and that book is suddenly the best thing you have ever read—yep, I’m looking at you, Proust.

I too am quite surprised so few people seem to have been reading that book. I’m not even American but I’ve read it.

So much of what has been happening recently is explained in it.
