but you gotta invest yourself in the classics like Camus because they use fiction in a way that's very allegorical and demonstrates a point

Maybe I will get around to that eventually. I do give novels a chance now and then, as I realize the fault is mostly mine. My brother wants me to read some Haruki Murakami and everyone says they're great books, so... maybe eventually. But like you say, they take time. And you don't know if it's really good before you've read 100-200 pages. I just feel like putting my time elsewhere, so I'll probably mostly remain ignorant of great fiction novels. Call me when there's a movie adaptation

You into romance at all? You should read Catch-22.
