I really am enjoying this second read so much. Will have lots of thoughts by the time I'm done. Quick nugget for now: DFW was so funny. The Pemulis stuff is brilliant.

Feeling the momentum. Pushing through. Enjoying this book much more on the second read than my first pass five years ago.

Choose your Wallace vocabulary favorites. Mine are prandial, howling fantods, and homodontic.
