I liked it. I remember respecting the ending a lot.

What happens in the end? You die anyway.

I don't think people deny death, they do shit that could cause them to die all the fucking time. What they're in denial over is the futility of living and this causes them to fill their lives with anything so as to avoid the futility of life.

The thing I liked about the ending was that after spending the book arguing that your life is essentially a bunch of cope about dying, he stuck to it. The end. No turn. No remedy or comfort. And then he died a couple months later and won a posthumous Pulitzer. Wonderful.

I dropped it at the beginning because it all seemed like tired Freudian nonsense. Did I make a mistake

The earlier chapters are definitely more of that. You also probably missed the Freudian chapter devoted to shitting on Freud through his own theories.
