Incredible book with some incredible writing so far. A bit jumpy but definitely glad I am reading this.

Had to pause real quick to acknowledge that the conversation between Laurie and Manhattan in chapter 9 is like one of the greatest issues I have ever read.

of course, talk radio is very different from what dominates today, and there are a few parts of this that seem very unique to radio. However, the essay on conservative talk radio is erely relevant — Wallace seems to have captured something that would only become stronger with time.

Finally got to the title essay and it was great. John McCain and Dosteivsky were also good, but I think you start to see DFW's liberalness shine through. By that, I don't mean that he is on the American left, which he is, but his conception of politics feels almost surface level to me.

oh man that linguistics dictionairy essay was another BANGER

The Kafka essay is a banger.

Haven’t loved this so far, but I really liked A Little Cloud and then I ABSOLUTELY ADORED A Painful Case. Maybe I just liked it so much because it brought up some personal feelings but it hurt a lot.

this is a tough read for me guys
