Infinite Winter 2016 discussion

Welcome to the week one Infinite Jest discussion thread. We invite you to share your questions and reflections on pages 3-94 – or if you're reading the digital version, up to location 2233 – below.

Reminder: This is a spoiler-free thread, primarily for first time readers. Please avoid referencing characters and plot points that happen after page 94 / location 2233 in the book. We have a separate thread for those who want to talk spoilers.

Oops, is it January 31st already? I'll just copy the threads from reddit and kick things off. Anyone started yet?

I started last Friday, so I guess that's kinda cheating but I'm not sorry. Loving the book so far.

Up to page 85. Still as difficult as attempts 1 & 2 . . . Enjoyed the Filmography immensely this time through. Erdedy and Gompert episodes still harrowing in a been there/done that sense. The former more than the latter.
