I read Taipei years ago. Similar to the reviewer, I experienced an initial revulsion towards the writing. But by the end I quite liked it.
Tao Lin is an interesting guy. Among other eccentricies, he claims to have cured his autism (which was caused by vaccines).
- Kaibeezy 3y agoI had a similar reaction to 100 Years of Solitude, except the opposite. When I tell people, I am surprised to find it is an unpopular opinion.
- abnercoimbre 3y agoWould you still recommend it as a worthwhile read? (We're talking about none other than Gabriel García Márquez right?)
- Kaibeezy 3y agoCorrect. I would recommend reading 100 pages for an 80/20. (We’re talking about Vilfredo Pareto.)
- inimino 3y agoOpposite in that you liked it at the beginning but not at the end? I could see that happening, given the plot.
