"To the Lighthouse" is garbage. It will forever remain on my top ten worst books list.https://twitter.com/EsotericCD/status/1109813330720555009 …

Certainly. But I liked most of the books then. And as I said in the next tweet, I think modernism may not be my bag, because T. S. Eliot's poetry leaves me with that same blank chill. And I'm hardly a teenager being compelled now.

I read Fagles then-new translation of "The Iliad" for pleasure that same year and loved it. So it's not that I couldn't or wouldn't read something challenging or difficult at that age. It's very specifically "To the Lighthouse."

oddly enough that's how I read it. didn't matter!

We read Camus' "The Plague." No easy book. I liked that. I wrote my final paper on "V.," quite a difficult book in its own right. It's one of my favorites. So I really do think it's just me and that book and age isn't really a factor.
