infinite jest

i know… the worst guy you ever met had half this book stuffed in his messenger bag and made out like he was a genious for reading what seems like the longest book of all time. fuck that guy. it’s genuinely a good read. take it slow, dont feel pressured to get through it quickly. there‘s enough bouncing around from character to character that it doesn’t stagnate. i read it on several 5 hour plane rides over ~2 years and have had a tender place in my heart for it ever since. it’s also afaik the place where my Capitalizing for Emphasis comes from. reading it now is extra neat bc of how many little things dfw got right about the future. did i say neat i meant scary
