I might have asked this already, but is there a community on here for people reading The Recognitions by William Gaddis like there's a community on here for people reading Les Miserables?

Thinking about The Recognitions again

I have wayyyy too many books on my to-read list to read a 945 page book for the second time (in the same year) right now

But it’s just That Good it’s just SO GOOD

I am never going to get over it

#literally no one is doing it like Gaddis #and if they are please tell me about them #i know I should read dostoevsky’s entire catalogue before revisiting Recognitions #seeing as that’s the most significant chunk of references that I didn’t have past knowledge of #but like #‘their extended arms abscissa and ordinate for the point of ordination where their eyes met on the inordinate curve of doubt’ #HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET OVER THAT #AND THAT’S JUST ONE LINE #the language is DANCING #the recognitions #william gaddis #literature
