> First book I’ve ever read outside of school. Took me 3 days.

I don’t get why people call Hemingway deep — it’s literally about fishing.

Where’s the symbolism? Where’s the subtext? Where’s the dragons?

No wonder people hate reading. Might go back to CoD lore videos.

Is Of Mice and Men better or do they just shoot more animals in that one?

I've read this book in one sitting multiple times. It's a nice, tight little narrative, absolutely packed with symbolism contrary to what you said. You're just too illiterate to glean even an inkling of meaning from the book, I guess. Is your skin an ugly colour by any chance? Might explain it.

If you sit on your ass all day, that isn’t all very impressive. Now if your page-count per minute matched your BMI….

Read man and his symbols and then start reading other books and you'll see symbolism from a mile away

>Read challenging book with tons of symbolism and deeper meanings
>Understand none of it
>Look up what the book was about and its themes
>You sunuvabitch what a brilliant book!

Sorry but not sorry, Tony's Story is about Indians being lazy and blaming white people for their sloth not about institutional racism.
