"They Can Kill You, But the Legalities of Eating You Are Quite a Bit Dicier."

Just started. Wish me luck.

80 pages into a re-read and loving it more this time around.

Gonna Knock This Book Off Tonight

Gonna knock this book tonight (only 850+ plus pages left)

The filmography endnote! I'd love to see some of those movies.

275 pages into Infinite Jest...excellent book, but man is it slow going.

370. The slow ascent continues.

Excellent book so far. A bit wordy at times and the dialog is super hard to follow which gives it a specific feel. Love that it's set in Tucson.

Gotta get disciplined and get moving through this book or I'm going to be finishing it during Christmas!

"Need a whole new syntax for fatigue on days like this."

355. It reads much faster now. But I've still slowed way down. Same thing happened in Gravity's Rainbow.

345. Getting much more interesting as the plot threads present themselves.

Alas, poor Wallace! I read him well, Horatio.

Close to a third of the way through, which would be more impressive had I not started close to a month ago.

Hal: Mario, what do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic, and a dyslexic? Mario: I give. Hal: You get somebody who stays up all night torturing himself mentally over the question of whether or not there's a dog.

Looking forward to a nice trip through a well-written novel!

210 pages in. It's between DeLillo and Bolano.

I wish I had more reading time.

Probably the best example I've come across of how reading a book on Kindle can improve the experience. Being able to tap to get the definition of a word and jump straight to a footnote from the text and back really helps. I'm a bit over a hundred pages in and don't feel that I've really formed an opinion on the book itself, though.

Scarlett is sleeping so I'm snuggled on the couch watching the snowfall and reading.

Need to read as much of this as possible during the break. It's a commitment.

Only book I ever finished that I immediately started reading again. My fboat (favorite book of all time). Wallace was my god for years after I read it

It's a slow start, but I heard around page 270 is when things start to get good.

Invinite Jest... who's laughing now? @LightAndVelvet

Same MF five pages as the last time and the time before that, and as well, the time before that. Gestationally challenged.

Cool. Good to know there are others similarly occupied. :-)

If I'm not watching a movie... I can spend the next chapter of my life reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace... Wishing he was here.

Infinite Jest... we need to read it now more than ever. I'd Love for Wallace to comment on Occupy Wall Street. He'd be there.
