Title is a bit redundant; I can’t see how anybody could read the book and not come away as a fan, but I’m just wondering if there’s anyone on Lemmy who’s read it.
What do you think? I’d love to meet some other fans of DFW.
If you’d told me I’d enjoy a book with hundreds of pages about tennis I’d have laughed at you. Turns out the joke was on me as I loved it. Did struggle a little with the back and forth of the footnotes, but that’s what bookmarks are for.
A great read. My favorite quote:
“You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.” ― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest
I’ve read it three times now. First time I didn’t get how things were connected, or that the ghost of Himself was in the picture. Second time I tried to pay attention to the timeline and the purpose of the Entertainment. Third time it started to come together.
