Okay, I just read this, and I got fucking meme'd as hell,

I wanted to agree with your post, but then you had to type
>This is proof of how long novels, in general, fail.
Kys, faggot.

I don't believe you have actually read the book.

>plot going anywhere

maybe you should stick to soap operas. the plots go places.

>>8740370
infinite jest is the literary equivalent of a soap opera

>tfw you will never write infinite jest

Its clear that this is either a bait thread, you didn't finish the book because you are a ADHD brainlet who can only read novellas, speedread it, or your mind went completely blank and you let your eyes gloss over each page and not actually take anything in.

Infinite Jest is a meme, but its really fucking good.

>Rading for plot.

What the FUCK are you doing on this board?

Infinite Jest is a book about what its like to be alive, and our search to give our lives meaning. If you didn't think ANYTHING in the book was profound, kys.

How do I stop doing this?

>>8740548
not the same guy, but I'll tell you, unless you're genuinely interested in the book (youll know if you are bc ur effort is reflected on how much you read it) put it down, read a summary, and shitpost to the extreme on the nearest anonymous image board to you like the puerile little cunt you are

>>8740548
I held a bookmark horizontally under the line that I was reading so that I had to finish the line and consciously move the bookmark in order to continue

>>8740393
So deep /s/

>>8740548
Read a paragraph and then ask yourself what was it about? Don't continue till you know the answer. Don't be afraid to read the same page over and over.

I read it and didn't get it.

Am I just dumb?

>It tries to fool you into thinking it has a plot, but it never actually goes anywhere.
This is how I know you didn't actually read it.

>>8740695
What the fuck are you talking about? I literally opened every single page of it, you fucking retard

>>8740150
put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger

>the prose reads like it's the ramblings of some insane person stuck in a mental asylum
don't give it that much credit, it tries to do this but it fails

Does this board like IJ again or something?

>>8740954
>opening pages

>>8740150
You don't actually read what /lit/ talks about. Anyone reading this garbage is just a pseud and wants a sense of superiority. That's why /lit/ gets so triggered that people enjoy certain books while they are over here suffering reading these long boring books in order to feel smart.

>>8741017
OR they're reading because they're genuinely interested in what you fucking idiots keep arguing about.

>Too many acronyms, too much techspeak, the prose reads like it's the ramblings of some insane person stuck in a mental asylum. It tries to fool you into thinking it has a plot, but it never actually goes anywhere.
This was part of the satire of it you nonce. Anyone who has read more than ten books would have figured that out.

>>8740954
You got it completely backwards. It fools you into thinking there's NO plot, but there actually is an overarching story that happens off page. So let me amend what I said: you either haven't read it, or you haven't comprehended it.
