Hunger by Knut Hamsun

I'm still in the process of reading this book. It is a bit tough for me to get through. It is interesting... however, the main character tends to go off on wild fantasies and does things like makes up a word and wonders what it actually means all while sitting on a park bench at night about to dose off while he hasn't eaten in 3 days.

Has anyone else out there read this book?

In your opinion, does it get better?

Lets hear your thoughts!
