Just finished this - great book, although it's far less shocking now than it was when it was written I'm sure. That's the trouble with these old books, they get subsumed into contemporary literature, so that their originality is diluted to a modern audience.
Anyway the reason for the post is that the message of the ending really made me think of MTBing. Wanting to make things hard for yourself for an non-obvious kind of reward.
Or, within MTBing, it reminded me of single-speeding, riding fully rigid etc.
