Well, I do remember reading it in high school, but it did not leave any mark on me.

I read the book and hated it — no theme, nothing, it just felt afterwards that I wasted time reading the book.

Classic? I didn’t finish it either. Did I miss anything?

40 odd years later the only thing I can remember about the seminal book of our age is the line,

“Cold as a witches teat”

I got more out of reading Azimov during that phase.

Me either. Never understood the hype on that book. I think it’s just part of the boomer-generation self-love pathology. Celebration of alienation.
