I read up to page 300 with the same thing in mind. It's been over a year since I've read any serious amount beyond that. I enjoyed some moments so far, but I just don't see myself finishing it anytime soon, if ever.

While we're confessing that we didn't read Infinite Jest, I burnt out around page 300-350.

That book's not difficult, it's just very dull. I'm a relatively fast reader (not for /lit/ standards, I guess, but way faster than a typical normie with surface interest in literature) and it took me something like 9 months to force myself to read it.

Keep in mind I read Ulysses in 9 or 10 days

damn you guys are fucking pussies. I read the recognitions and found it meh the whole way through.

Just give up. Trust me you are not missing anything. That book was a waste of time. Worst book I have ever read.

yeah, it just didn't appeal to me either, when i saw the shitty rendition of the chick in the mental hospital i became furious with autistic rage and ripped the novel apart.

i don't think it's fair to compare The Recognitions to IJ, i mean, The Recognitions was a lampoon on people like DFW in the first place

It's not a difficult book, it's turgid garbage.
