Been reading a few chapters into Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer from my mother in-laws book collection.
So far I don't feel all that impressed or intrigued especially because of the high praise from others at the front of the book. It makes it sound like one is meant to be struck by the divine from the holy bible itself or something. So far what I've gotten is crudeness with flowery language that doesn't give me much mental/emotional stimulation.
Just makes me think of a urbanite bohemeian wanker so far.
Thinking might instead read For Whom The Bell Tolls instead.
