I want something that might be impossible, a grudge from elementary and high school (lemmy.ca)

I want a book that impossible to do a book report on, an objectively good book that is at least short story length but has no deeper meaning, metaphor or character motivation really nothing worth discussing outside of the literal actions that take place

I wonder if I could get ai to steal something I want to make that I'm pretty sure is impossible at least by humans, it would be nice to have an objectively good book that is at least short story length but has no deeper meaning or essentially impossible to do a book report on outside of talking about the plotI don't know why this still nags me so much almost twenty years outside of school but it's something that hits me at least once a week, I fear I might have to one day act on this and either waste money on ai or start a writing contest with a prize/bounty though I know I couldn't be a/the judge

I'm not unfamiliar with the works of good authors (as far as I'm aware) but I haven't tried a lot of real history outside of a few small things like myths and "the history of vice" I think though mostly I'm really into scifi and fantasy, I'd have to say terry pratchett and david wong are my two favourites and jonathon howard is up there too but maybe it all affects me differently because I'm pretty much exclusively an audiobook guy

I'll admit I'm can have a good deal of subtext go right over my head like thinking the end to american psycho meant that he was in some sort of punishment afterlife type thing where e had live out life with no real affect on the world or the trans stuff in some discworld books

I can't follow audiobooks well myself. I need the written word, but you should look into Norse mythology. It is a pretty good and easy to understand read, it makes a lot more sense that Greek mythology I can tell you that.

I have trouble with normal books because I lose track of my place so I end up rereading lines if I'm actually getting into it, I really wish I had found audiobooks while I was in school because I could have got through them at a reasonable pace and not needing to do a poor job skimming
