How would people in both the pro and con camps regarding DFW feel if i said that, even only this far in, this book is reminiscent of IJ in both format (pieces, multiple narrators, footnotes) and subject matter (filmmaking, perception, dynamics of friends/family)?? I know it is horror-leaning, especially as it moves farther on, just wondering out loud as to whether the feeling of similarity will continue...

So it's gorgeous and the story's good, and I keep aahhing over how cleverly it's laid out while contemplating putting it away for awhile for something I don't have to turn upside down. Maybe I'm old-fashioned.Maybe I want the footnotes to hold entertainment value as opposed to mainly functioning to keep me flipping around. Pushing through for now.
