Any opinions on "To the Lighthouse"? I finished it yesterday, and felt the book was well put together, and conveyed a lot of important messages about time, family relationships, and the meaning of life.

>Night of your birth. Thirty-three. The Leonids they were called. God, how the stars did fall. I looked for blackness, holes in the heavens.
Are there any other books written in a genre with prose of this beauty like McCarthys Blood Meridian?
The closest I can think of is Book of the New Sun.

>18 year old guy runs from his home after nearly not graduating from school, not before taking $500 cash from his abusive father. He knows he is not going to last many days with that money, so he starts living with his best friend's in his flat in a small, touristic town. He meets many people, specially a blue eyed guy, who owns a bookstore and becomes one of his best friends. He goes into an art school, he falls in love (or he thinks he does) with a blond, green eyed girl. He tries to get her during several months. His friend tells him he will go to another country, so he'll have to find somewhere to live. He gets a small apartment. He and the girl finally becom a couple. At the same time, he's struggling to pay the school, so he starts selling drugs. He is convinced he is bound to become a true artist. He starts experimenting with several drugs, traveling and having unusual sex situations. After this, the apartment's owner tell him it's been 3 months without paying, so he'll have to go. He looses everything, including the girl, and starts living in the streets. He falls into depression and how stupid and hypocrite he had been, how he lost the little he had and how he could be happy with it, he also has doubts about his sexuality. After several suicide attempts, he comes back, gets a good job, goes to school and is more mature. The girl tries to go back with him, but he rejects her. He realizes he had true love in front of him: his blue eyed friend. First the relationship is shit, then it gets better and better. In the end, he fucks everything up again, the guy leaves him. He falls into depression again. He has money, women, everythin one can dream of, but love. He feels empty. He has sex with many people, but it's no good. I don't know if he kills himself or not in the end.

So I watched that Jesse Eisenberg movie about David Foster Wallace and his book, Infinite Jest, and it seemed pretty interesting. You guys also seem to praise the book here, so this is making me want to get it. Although, I'm also seeing a lot of stuff about tennis and some rehab place, and I don't think I want to read a book about tennis.
Would you guys recommend this book to a pretty average reader who reads books for entertainment?

Is the satisfaction of having a book released bigger than the sadness and shame that comes when you realize no one is reading it?
Quoted By:
There's this short story (maybe) where there's a puritan who wears dark clothes and bans dancing and merriment and the like, lest satan intervene, and then he dies and satan's like "thanks for being my main man"
Anyone know what it is?
