Yes!
Modern classics like this are *great* fiction, well worth the read. Excuse
me for saying so, but fuck all the other kinds of crap out there. I prefer
to spend my reading time on educational non-fiction books. If anyone wants
me to devote my time and energy to fiction then those imaginary stories had
better be on the caliber of _Lord of the Flies_ by Golding. Otherwise I have
better things to do with my time.
