Love this description: 10:04 by Ben Lerner I read books for the writing. Most people I know read books for characters, plot, emotions, relatability, insight, inspiration, an existential massaging of the mind, or some combination of those things. Those are fine reasons to read a book and enjoy a book. But they are not my reasons. I read books for the writing. What is 10:04, by Ben Lerner? It is a book for people who like great writing—great, here, meaning frequently brilliant, electrically hyper-conscious, extravagantly verbose, aggressively sesquipedalian throw-the-book-across-the-room-in-despair-that-you-will-never-invent-that-metaphor-because-he-just-did writing. There are a bunch of adverbs. If you dont like adverbs, thats fine. Stephen King has lots of books.
