There ARE passages in here that are real gems! I WILL finish this weekend!

I'm getting to the point one gets to in DFW's long fiction, in which we start a long sequence out with tons of useless details and negligible conflict or philosophy, to the point where there are sixteen footnotes per run-on sentence (one of which goes "I'm not the kind of author to add and end note to ever miniscule useless detail, bc an author who would do so is blah blah...) If I finish, it's bc of the book's hype.

Loving the stream of consciousness and wandering mind style, and have already had couple huge laughs
