Nah, just off yourself.
But seriously, his essays are better. His short stories are better. The Pale King is better. Infinite Jest can only be suffered by those with a high tolerance for secondhand embarrassment.

start with his essays

david "foster" wallace is a writer who was trying to lead by example, so you might as well just get it over with and kill yourself my main lad

Fifth Head of Cerberus is pretty good.
The Web and the Rock is cool.
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is possibly the best starting point.

Yes

I don't know, OP, how about you do it for half a year and let us know? Make sure to keep proper records with backup files in order for the data to be correct.

>"Thomas Pynchon looks exactly like Thomas Pynchon should look," said Rushdie. "He is tall, he wears lumberjack shirts and blue jeans. He has Albert Einstein white hair and Bugs Bunny front teeth."
>The evening "started a little stiltedly", he added, "and then he relaxed and became very chatty and there was a moment when it was 3am and my eyes were dropping when he said, 'I guess you guys are getting a little tired, huh?' And I was thinking, 'Yes! But it's Thomas Pynchon, so wake up!' And when this long, affable evening came to an end I thought now we are sort of friends, and every so often we will see each other. And he never called again, from that day to this."

No because hope is a delusion and he's smarter than that. It's just ridiculous idiocy others participate in. Why are you so blind?
>>
Hope to get him to comply with the machine and be happy because being happy is rational?
That's not a hope he wants.

...And I fucking hate it, holy shit. The teacher is having us do poetry in the first week and then getting frustrated that we don't know what we're doing on our first fucking try. He's also a pretentious cunt who acts smug about the fact that none of us have seen Academy shit like Birdman or whatever and laughs at us for watching regular TV shows.
What the fuck do I do? Kill myself? This shit is fucking torture.

Seriously, did ol' Nietzsche even study any philosophy or was he just THE edge-lord of his time?

Nigga you gotta specify which philosopher you're talking about

Nietzsche wasn't really concerned with governmental rules
He was concerned by what governments as institutions are capable of, but by and large the dude wrote about how individuals should live their lives.
