The Sun Also Rises

There is no plot. There are just a bunch of rich people behaving badly. They have no self-respect, no boundaries. They self-medicate by drinking 24-7. They dehumanize anyone they perceive as beneath them. The characters are well drawn but there are no character arcs and no reason to care about any of them. The prose is spare, and in a lot of places reads just like a bad diary entry listing all the things they did that day, but without giving any reason for listing them. I would have DNF'd except I read it with a book club.
