>>24952049**Houellebecq, I was using speech to text.
>>24952049It's meh. Serotonin was better.
>>24952081I can't even imagine holding this opinion. Serotonin felt so rough and off-the-cuff. I think it's his weakest.
>reading a translation of a French authoryou didn't actually read the book (I can't speak French btw)
>>24952103I read it in translation and in French. I prefer the translation.
>>24952084It's less cartoonish and more interesting for it.
I found it quite hard to read I could follow along with the plot easily but the discussions were very hard for me
>>24952398I dont know what you mean by cartoonish. TEP's sci-fi aspects? i thought Serotonin was pretty trivial in its narration and some of its story. the dog sex.
>>24952049My favourite book is his first and it makes me not want to read any of his other works as I strongly imagine he peaked in the first go...
I understand what Houellebecq was trying to get across, but all the pseudo scientific passages are lame.>>24952081Agreed. A much better depiction of rotten contemporary life than showing the life of a public masturbator and an incel nerd.
>>24952049It is barely a novel. The closest Houellebecq has gotten to literature is La possibilité d’une île.
