This furthers my contempt of the whole pantheon of "great books" - "you must like this." "but I don't." "That's because you don't understand it." "That's fine. There's all sortsa shit I don't understand that I'm not required to like. Quit triangulating to a place where it's my failing that makes this a bad book to me."
