Definitely one of my favorite books I read when I was younger
It really makes you think of the importance of books especially "classics" which "a lot of people" (quotes cuz it's just a lot of people I've seen) seem to hate on
It's also interesting to think that with how some books are marked now there's a very simple non insightful labels that can slap on them to make people wanna read them and I think of that when they talked about the tv and how they stripped media down to basically nothingness
I say this to draw parallels in conversations I've had/heard with other people
Overall it's a great book though the ending bits felt a little dragged
