What's the most boring book ever written?

Literary realism.

Certainly not OP pic unless you are a languagelet.

Three times. Only way it can be described as boring is if you are a utilitarian when it comes to language and see no art in language.

Feel like going on.

The Making of Americans is the ultimate work of minimalism across all of the arts, it is the only minimalist work that requires you to actively engage in its minimalism, you can't step back and see the larger picture, the broader strokes, the implied harmony or melody, the simplification of form, or even the minimalism itself; you are there for every step of its linear progression, you are complicit in its minimalism. No other minimalist work requires this and there is nothing in literary minimalism that Stein did not do first.

The Making of Americans is the music of language at its purest, everything but the language itself is stripped away.

this. i expected some action or military strategy but it's literally just boring women and fags talking about nothing at cocktail parties.

>>25271188
I categorically disagree, the book is quite easy to read, the story starts from the very beginning, you don't have to wait 100 or more pages for the action to begin.

Shut up. Natasha Rostova is the most wonderful woman I've ever read about.
