There was a 2-3 time period when I had lots going on in my life and didn't read it at all. The rest of the time I just tried to read about 2% of it each day (read it on Kindle), which took about an hour at a time.

Dammit, I've been well and truly memed.

I liked the writing, thought it was a nice blend of humour and melancholy. I didn't like how the book ended without really resolving any of the plot, especially as I'd devoted so much time to trying to understand it (although I probably failed at that). I daresay there's a good reason for that though, hence why I'm now reading online reviews of it so that I can talk about it more intelligently and pretend I arrived at those conclusions all on my own.

This theory is head canon for many people, myself included.

That's interesting, thanks. At this point I don't even know though - like other people I'm sure, I got bored when reading some parts of the book and didn't fully absorb the information, and now I'm wondering if I failed to take in some of the important parts. I'd like to go back and check certain parts or even re-read the whole thing, but I don't know if I'll have time. My to-read list has been steadily building up.

Regardless of whether I enjoyed it or not though (and I did, mostly), I was pretty astounded throughout the book at the incredible levels of research that must have gone into the book. Even with the internet helping me I'd never be able to write anything like the sorts of passages DFW wrote about game theory, optics, filmmaking, and so on. The guy was clearly a genius, for what it's worth.

Whoa. The stuff regarding The Darkness is new to me.
