I’ve been meaning to read that. Admittedly it’s a bit intimidating from lots of people saying how difficult it is to read.

I was intimidated too, read many times on this sub not to start with that one. One day I just picked it up to read a page or two and was completely drawn in, finished it in two days (slow reader). One of my all time favourites. Just try a couple of pages and see what you think!

it is a stream of consciousness novel. A narrative technique where the thoughts and emotions of a narrator or character are written out such that a reader can track the fluid mental state of these characters It wont be difficult once you start and keep at it. good luck

It’s an absolute fundamental part of modernist literature. Not exaggerating when I say that book changed my worldview
