Within 30 seconds of settling into Shipe Pool with my e-reader, a kid told his dad he wanted to show him "how wet [he] can kick" and proceeded to splash the ever-loving fuck out of me. Then, a young girl begged her mom to play Imagine Dragons off her phone, which the mom happily obliged. The universe absolutely does not want a white boy to read Infinite Jest at the pool, but I refuse to relent!

Maybe it's the sinus pressure of The Cold From Hell talking, but Eschaton seems fun!

Read this for 2 hours last night and woke up this morning with sub-dermal pimples breaking out along my hairline... afraid that I'm sprouting a bandana like I'm in a 50's B-Movie called something like I Was a Teenage LitBro

Finding pieces of myself in this silly ass book while in a depressive episode feels like I'm doing the "its always 2 dumb bitches telling eachother 'exactlyyyy'" tweet with a dead guy

Slow and steady reads the book, as they say

Started to drag a little bit for me but then we started filing insurance claims for Looney Tune-style slapstick accidents and selling piss, we are so BACK

It brings me no pleasure to report that I'm enjoying the annoying book for annoying guys

Book version of jumping off a bridge because all my friends are doing it
