I like to get my hands on the cheapest edition I can in the best condition at that price. If the words in the book are the same as a more expensive one, I’m getting a better value, in my opinion. Then if it’s a story that becomes really important to me I might consider upgrading to a “nicer” or collectors version, and keep the old ones as lender books.

I personally did not enjoy this book. It came highly recommended at the time and I see a lot of people love it, but it was just too confusing for me. If I didn’t watch the movie, I would have had a very different idea of the story.

For me it just jumped around too much and I couldn’t follow who was narrating at any given moment. It also did nothing to stimulate me emotionally or philosophically. I thought about putting it down several times, but I try to always finish what I start.

For those of you who love this book, what do you love about it?
