I bought this years ago. It's been sitting on my shelf untouched given I've been waiting til I feel less pessimistic to read a book like this, as it could trigger nihilism or at least worsen the cynicism. Or I could stop being such a little bitch and just read the damn thing already.Starting a classic - The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, Ligotti.
I'm currently reading "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. It's a really long read, I've been at it for a week and have only read about a quarter of it. The book isn't written in the traditional way with chapters, instead it's just a series of endnotes which can make it confusing at times. Some parts of the book seem completely disconnected from the rest and don't really make sense. When I first started reading each of these endnotes seemed like individual short stories, but they slowly link to each other as you progress. With my experience of it so far, I find that there are some very good sections as well as some which are a bit of a chore to read. But for anyone who has the time, give it a shot.
