"Over the past few months /r/RSBookClub has read Hrabel's *Too Loud a Solitude*, Didion's *Slouching Towards Bethlehem*, Houellebecq's *Elementary Particles*, Bulgakov's *The Master & Margarita*, and Tolstoy's *The Death of Ivan Ilyich*. Many of these books share a theme of a stultifying elite class "
"I started and finished The Metamorphosis today and it fucked me up worse than The Death of Ivan Ilyich (which I had heard about how sad it was, but I actually found the ending hopeful and even happy in a strange way)."
"God damn, that was so good. Everything about it rocked. It's my all time favourite book I have ever read. I may just start rereading again tomorrow, I truly loved it."
