Also progressed a bit here, though I've kind of stalled out on this first section with Madame Psychosis. I intend to keep trucking, but I'm gonna let myself read some bits of other books for a minute and come back later.

Still rocking! Some incredible sections in the past few "jests", but also a few slogs. The slogs are still really good, though, just the kind of thing that takes a few days to crawl through. I think this is the year I finish this finally.

Okay, I'm back on my B.S. again. Really enjoying how Dot Com Boom this book is. Let's see how far I advance this time...

Having a great time for the most part, though the chapter that slowed me down previously (11) was just as slow this time, but now I'm truckin' again. The common transphobia and ebonics chapters have really not aged well, but it was 1996 and the cultural conversation was somewhat behind compared to where it is now, so I'll give DFW a little bit of a pass there. Overall, still very impressed.

Attempt 4. This seems easy after spending a while reading Pynchon. Breezing right along, but I'm also pretty familiar with everything up to this point, so that's nothing. I think this time will be The Time. This is exactly what I'm in the mood for/need.
