Haha. Thanks. They all read at different paces, so it isn't as much of a hassle.
How are you enjoying Infinite Jest so far?
I am really enjoying it so far. Some parts remind me of The Broom of the System which makes me think of some larger themes DFW might be commenting on. I am also really enjoying seeing a bunch of pieces of random stuff slowly start clicking together. Also oversized feral infants. How crazy is that?
DFW compared the structure of IJ to a Sierpinski Gasket (pyramidal fractal) which was fun to look for when reading it.
I can't wait to see your review video!
