1 like = 1 thing I hate about the 1959 John Knowles novel A Separate Peace

It would be funny if it gradually became clear through the list I provide that I haven& #39;t actually read Separate Peace, or that I think it& #39;s War and Peace or something. That would be a good "bit." However, that& #39;s false and I& #39;m not gonna do that bit.

1. The narrator (Gene) is a radically unrepentant sociopath. He starts to resent his best friend (Finny) because--and this is, like, not even an uncharitable summary--Finny underestimates how much Gene has to study. That& #39;s like Wittgenstein levels of unsolicited rage.

2. War and Peace was another lame book. It had, at the time A Separate Peace was published, already been written. Unlike Tolstoy, Knowles didn& #39;t even have the balls to claim his Spicy ruminations on war as his own. Instead, he attributed them to random high schoolers he invented.
