Infinite Jest
I read David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest this summer* because someone in my flist, who I can't remember at the moment, linked to the Infinite Summer project. It was to read this massive, funny, sad and infuriating book this summer, 75 pages at a time.
There are get-togethers of readers planned, which sound like fun unless I really think about it. Would I want to be in a room with a bunch of DFW fanboys?
I'm completely enjoying his writing, I'm a fan of his talent, but I also have major issues with the man. Which is cool, that happens a lot when it comes to things I love, but would I ever feel masochistic enough to get into an argument about his books, specially Infinite Jest?
*A big deal for me, because I don't read and enjoy novels like I did decades ago.
