Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn | 
As I've said here, if I don't like a critically acclaimed classic, then that's probably my own shortcoming. Far as I can discern, there's no traditional narrative here. It's a rambling stream of consciousness autobiographical story of a writer's experiences cavorting with his friends in France. It's extremely profane in a way that I'm sure was groundbreaking in the 1930's, but when read in 2021 it comes off to me as juvenile in It's vulgarity.
#FallTreasures Day 23: #BannedBook - I am afraid to start this series as I may find a lot of misogynistic musings. Has anyone read the series?

1. I do. The tagged books are examples of books I've bailed. Am so glad I learnt how to bail on books! When I was younger I always felt I had to finish the books I started no matter what.
2. Bad writing, unlikeable characters, if the book makes me want to do anything except read... I usually try to give it 50 pages in hopes that it might improve though.
3. Yes, if recommended by someone I trust.
