Feels like I’m one of the few who really didn’t enjoy this books writing. I get the appeal, but ultimately it wasn’t for me.

With that said, stay off that ivory tower! There are so many more great and wonderful books written after the 2000s!

Pretty sure anyone subbed to r/books will say near exactly what you just said. This isn’t a controversial take.

Who cares what it’s classified as: you either enjoy it or you don’t enjoy it. Don’t let marketing terms ruin a book for you if you’d otherwise enjoy it.
