never have i thought a writer could be so pretentious yet the book be so completely engaging. it is so obvious from the writing that franzen and i do not have the same life experiences and philosophies, yet i've thought about this book nearly every day since i've read it. every single character in this book is utterly detestable but i found myself caring about what happens to them. obviously docked points for falling into the common male-author-writing-women phenomenon, but overall fantastic
